When a cell divides, what is the result of the process known as mitosis?

  1. The formation of daughter cells

  2. One cell with the same genetic code

  3. An increase in cell size

  4. The replication of DNA

The correct answer is: The formation of daughter cells

During mitosis, a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. Option A is the only choice that accurately describes the result of the process. Option B is incorrect because the daughter cells each receive half of the original cell's genetic code. Option C is incorrect because it describes the process of cell growth, which occurs during interphase before mitosis. Option D is incorrect because DNA replication occurs before mitosis during the S-phase of interphase.
