Question

introduction laboratory simulation select all of the following that are functions of mitosis. a. shuffle the genetic material b. produce four daughter cells from one parent cell c. produce daughter cells that are genetically identical d. growth and repair of body tissues e. produce two daughter cells from one parent cell which of the following represents the correct order of the phases of mitosis? a. prophase, anaphase, metaphase, telophase b. metaphase, anaphase, prophase, telophase c. metaphase, prophase, telophase, anaphase methods reset my notes show labels

Explanation:

1. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically - identical daughter cells from one parent cell. It is involved in growth and repair of body tissues. Genetic material shuffling and production of four daughter cells are functions of meiosis, not mitosis.
2. The correct order of mitosis phases is prophase (chromosomes condense), metaphase (chromosomes line up at the equator), anaphase (sister chromatids separate), and telophase (nuclear envelopes reform).

Answer:

1. C. Produce daughter cells that are genetically identical, D. Growth and repair of body tissues, E. Produce two daughter cells from one parent cell
2. None of the above (the correct order is Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase)
