Multiple Choice

The function of the mitotic cell cycle is to produce daughter cells that __________.

have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell but not the same genetic content

have a random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes

have the same number of chromatids as the parent cell had chromosomes

have none of the listed characteristics

are genetically identical to the parent cell (assuming no mutation has occurred)

Verified step by step guidance

Understand the purpose of the mitotic cell cycle: The primary function of mitosis is to ensure that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the parent cell's genetic material.

Recall the phases of mitosis: Mitosis consists of several stages - prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase - that work together to divide the cell's chromosomes equally between the two daughter cells.

Consider the genetic content: During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and then evenly distributed to ensure that each daughter cell has the same genetic content as the parent cell.

Evaluate the options: Analyze each option to determine which one correctly describes the outcome of mitosis. The correct option should reflect that the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Conclude with the correct understanding: The mitotic cell cycle results in daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, assuming no mutations occur during the process.
