question 3 (mandatory) (2 points)
please view the video prior to answering the following question

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division where one cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. In mitosis, the chromosome number of the daughter cells remains the same as that of the parent cell. Option a (chromosome number halved) occurs in meiosis (formation of gametes). Option b (chromosome number doubled) is not the end - result (though DNA replication occurs before mitosis, the distribution of chromosomes to daughter cells keeps the number same). Option e (gametes formed) is meiosis. Option d is incorrect as mitosis has a consistent chromosome - number - retention rule across species.

Answer:

C. the chromosome number stays the same
