Mitosis - Cell Division

Question 1 of 18

1

Define the process of Mitosis.

Select one of the following:

  • Mitosis is a form of nuclear cell division in which one nucleus divides to form two nuclei, each with the identical number of chromosomes.

  • Mitosis is a form of nuclear cell division in which one nucleus divides to form two nuclei, each with different number of chromosomes.

  • Mitosis is a form of nuclear cell division in which one nucleus divides to form four nuclei, each with the identical number of chromosomes.
