What is the typical result of mitosis in humans?
Correct answer
A
Rationale
During mitosis, a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. These daughter cells are diploid, meaning they contain the full set of chromosomes. Therefore, the typical result of mitosis in humans is the formation of two diploid cells (Choice A). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as mitosis results in the production of diploid cells, not haploid cells, and typically, it results in two daughter cells, not four.
