Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cell division requires accurate duplication (replication) of the genetic material to ensure that each daughter cell has a complete and identical set of chromosomes. Other options are incorrect or misleading. Cell division is important throughout the life cycle of an organism, mitosis is only one type of cell division, and protein synthesis occurs throughout interphase, not just during the S phase. Additionally, most types of cell division produce two daughter cells, not four.
