Mitosis and Meiosis

In mitosis, the two resulting daughter cells are

• different from the starting cell and identical to each other.

• different from the starting cell and different from each other.

• identical to the starting cell and different from each other.

• identical to the starting cell (parent cell) and identical to each other.

Fruit fly body cells have 8 chromosomes. After mitosis, you would expect a resulting fruit fly daughter cell to have ...

• 16 chromosomes.
• 46 chromosomes.
• 8 chromosomes.
• 4 chromosomes.
