B) Splits into two.
C) Splits into four.
D) Loses half of its chromosomes.
ANSWER
The correct option is B.
Mitosis is the process by which a single parent cell divides into two daughter cells, which are genetically identical. The nucleus contains the DNA molecule and during the process of mitosis, it is the DNA molecule that will first divide into two and at the end of the process, each daughter cell will possess its own DNA located, which is located inside the nucleus.
Answer:
Splits into two
Explanation:
The mitosis begins with a diploid cell (2n), with a total number of 46 chromosomes, after which a phase called interphase begins, in which the genetic material duplicates, and then the actual division begins.
After that, the prophase occurs, where the genetic material begins to spiral, becoming chromosomes (which contains two sister chromatids).
In addition, the nucleolus disappears and the cell membrane ruptures so that maximum spiraling can occur in the metaphase, and in anaphase sister chromatids can migrate to opposite poles of cells.
Finally, telophase occurs, forming two daughter cells identical to the mother cell. It is in this process that karyokinesis (division of the nucleus into two parts) is completed and cytokinesis (cytoplasm equivalent distribution) begins, where the cell membrane and nucleoli reappear.
