Question

what is mitosis?

• when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis
• the process of creating specialized cells for the purpose of reproduction
• the phase of the cell cycle where a cell actively divides into two identical cells
• when paired chromosomes exchange genetic information

Explanation:

Mitosis is a part of the cell cycle where a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells. The first option describes a phenomenon in meiosis (nondisjunction). The second option refers to meiosis (which creates gametes for reproduction). The fourth option describes crossing - over in meiosis.

Answer:

The phase of the cell cycle where a cell actively divides into two identical cells.
