Question
Mitosis is also known as _________________.
Equational division
Reductional division
Additional division
None of the above
Equational division
Reductional division
Additional division
None of the above
Hint:
Mitosis takes place in eukaryotic cells as in bone marrow and skin cells.
The correct answer is: Equational division
- Mitosis is a process of cell division in which chromosomes replicate and divide evenly into two daughter cells.
- Each daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. That is, it is diploid. Mitosis is therefore known as the equational division.
