How does a daughter cell compare to the parent cell after undergoing mitosis?

Answer 1

A daughter cell and its parent cell are exact copies of each other.

Answer 2

Daughter cells produced by mitosis will be genetically identical to their parent cell. Mitosis is the standard, ho-hum way that cells divide. It's how your skin cells make more skin, how your kidney cells make more kidney, how most bacteria reproduce, etc. The daughter cells will be a bit smaller, and they'll have about half the number of mitochondria and other organelles; they'll catch up to their parent cell in size and organelles if given a bit of time. But genetically (if you look at the chromosomes), they should be identical unless something went wrong.

The type of cell division where daughter cells will be genetically DIFFERENT from their parent cell is miosis (also spelled myosis), which is how humans and other creatures make sperm and egg cells.

Answer 3

There isn't much of a difference. They both look the same and function the same. This is all thanks to the nature of the mitosis.

Answer 4

They are both smaller yet identical to the parent cell.

Answer 5

The cells are genetically identical, however slightly smaller after initial separation.

Answer 6

after mitosis the daughter cells are exactly identical to the original cell

Answer 7

There are no differences. They are both identical to the parent.

Answer 8

After mitosis, the nucleus of each daughter cell will be genetically identical to the nucleus of the parent cell.
