What is created by mitosis?

  1. Two identical daughter cells

  2. A gamete

  3. A zygote

  4. A pair of alleles

The correct answer is: Two identical daughter cells

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells. A gamete is produced through meiosis, which is another type of cell division. A zygote is formed when a sperm and egg cell fuse together during fertilization. A pair of alleles refers to the two copies of a gene that an individual inherits from their parents, and is not directly created by mitosis.
