Question

what is the general function of mitosis?
○ daughter cells physically separate from each other.
○ the cell produces more organelles and cytoplasm.
○ the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other.
○ each chromosome replicates to produce two identical sister chromatids.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division. In mitosis, during anaphase, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate and move to opposite poles of the cell. Option A is about cytokinesis (physical separation of daughter cells). Option B is related to interphase (growth phase where organelles and cytoplasm increase). Option D occurs in the S - phase of interphase (chromosome replication). Only option C is a key event in mitosis.

Answer:

C. The sister chromatids of each chromosome separate from each other.
