Question

what is mitosis?
the phase of the cell cycle where a cell actively divides into two identical cells
the phase of the cell cycle where cells synthesize, or create, an identical copy of their dna
a state where cells perform their normal functions without preparing to divide
the phase of the cell cycle where cells continue to grow and make final preparations to divide

Explanation:

Mitosis is a process in the cell cycle. During mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell. The second option describes DNA synthesis (which occurs in the S - phase of the cell cycle, not mitosis). The third option describes the G0 phase. The fourth option describes the G2 phase.

Answer:

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