Question

mitosis occurs in eukaryotic cells.
what is the end result of mitosis?
one cell with two identical copies of dna
two cells with different copies of dna
one cell with two different copies of dna

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process of cell division in eukaryotic cells. During mitosis, one cell divides into two daughter cells. The DNA is replicated before mitosis starts. Then, during mitosis, the replicated DNA is equally distributed between the two daughter cells. So, the end - result is two cells. And since the DNA was replicated accurately (barring mutations which are rare in normal mitosis), the two cells have identical copies of DNA.

Answer:

None of the options provided are correct. The correct answer is two cells with identical copies of DNA. But if we have to choose from the given options, there is an error in the options. However, if we assume a mis - writing and consider the closest in terms of number of cells (ignoring the DNA description error in options), none of the options are correct as written. But if we assume the first option was mis - phrased (should be two cells instead of one cell), then it would be closest conceptually. But strictly based on the given options, there is no correct answer. If forced to choose the least wrong (assuming a one - cell to two - cell mis - statement in option 1), it would be the first option (with the correction in mind). But as per the given options exactly, there is no correct match.
