Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells

Steps:

• Recall mitosis divides one parent cell into two genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number.
• Examine each diagram for the end result: two cells with duplicated chromosomes properly segregated.
• Identify the diagram showing two separate, identical cells post-division.
• Confirm it matches mitosis outcome, not meiosis or other processes.

Why B is correct:

• Diagram B depicts two identical diploid daughter cells, aligning with mitosis definition as asexual cell division yielding genetic clones.

Why the others are wrong:

• A shows a single cell, indicating pre-division stage, not the product.
• C illustrates four cells, typical of meiosis II, not one mitotic division.
• D displays unequal or abnormal segregation, violating mitosis's equal distribution law.

Final answer: B
