Question

The role of mitosis is not merely to divide a cell into two daughter cells but to ensure genetic continuity from one . cell generation to another cell generation. The mechanism ensuring genetic continuity is (A) formation of cells with new chromosomes (B) formation of two daughter cells (C) formation of two cells with identical DNA (D) halving the chromosome number between the two new cells

All the daughter cells of a multicellular organism have the same number and type of chromosomes as parent cells due to equitable distribution of all the chromosomes in mitosis. This helps in ensuring genetic continuity.
