How many cells are produced during mitosis and what are they called?

1 mother cell
2 daughter cells
4 sister cells
3 triplet cells

The correct answer is: 2 daughter cells

During mitosis, the mother cell undergoes cell division to produce two identical daughter cells. These cells are also known as “identical copies” because they contain the same genetic information as the mother cell. Option A is incorrect because only one mother cell is involved in mitosis, while option C describes the result of meiosis, where four unique daughter cells are produced. Option D is incorrect because three cells would not be produced during mitosis. Therefore, the correct answer is B, 2 daughter cells.
