Mitosis: Summary 

Examine the figure below showing cell mitosis. Each mother cell  under goes cell division forming two daughter cells. Study behavioral objective 11 and answer the following true and false questions. If the answer is false indicate how it can be changed into a true statement. 

         cell replication    k 
 

28. Mitosis produces four daughter cells which are genetically identical.
