A cell is initially diploid, but it has a unique cell cycle in that this cell goes through two S phases instead of one. What would the remainder of its cell cycle consist of if this cell is to produce four identical diploid daughter cells at the end of its cell cycle?
A)two rounds of mitosis and one round of cytokinesis
B)one round of mitosis and one round of cytokinesis
C)one round of mitosis and two rounds of cytokinesis
D)two rounds of mitosis and two rounds of cytokinesis

The cell would go through two rounds of S phase, resulting in two sets of replicated chromosomes. It would then undergo two rounds of mitosis, each with its own round of cytokinesis, resulting in four identical diploid daughter cells. Therefore, the remainder of its cell cycle would consist of two rounds of mitosis and two rounds of cytokinesis.
