How many daughter cells are produced during mitosis?

One
Two
Four
Eight

The correct answer is: Two

During mitosis, two daughter cells are produced as a result of a single cell division. Mitosis is a process of nuclear division that allows a cell to replicate its genetic material and distribute it equally between the two new cells. This ensures that each daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes and maintains the same genetic information as the original parent cell. The process of mitosis typically follows several stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, culminating in cytokinesis, where the cytoplasm divides to form the two distinct daughter cells. This characteristic is crucial for growth, development, and tissue repair in multicellular organisms. In comparison, other options suggest different numbers of daughter cells, which do not align with the actual outcome of mitosis, highlighting the precision of this cellular division process in producing two genetically identical cells.
