Concept:Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces
2 genetically identical daughter cells from one parent cell.
Explanation:Mitosis involves only one division of the parent cell.
This single division gives
2 daughter cells, not
4 daughter cells.
The production of
4 daughter cells is a feature of meiosis.
In mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair, so bivalents are not formed.
Crossing over does not occur, so chiasmata are not formed either.
Because the daughter cells are identical copies, mitosis does not lead to genetic variation.
Therefore, statements A, B, and C are correct about mitosis.
The incorrect statement is the one that says
4 daughter cells are produced.
Answer:D. Four daughter cells are produced
