    Question

    Mitosis is also known as _________________.

    1. Equational division

    2. Reductional division

    3. Additional division

    4. 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.
