Question
Chapter 15, Problem 3CQ
Summary Introduction
To explain: The role of mitosis used as a key process for transferring genetic information to new cells.
Introduction: The process of mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis can be also referred to the process of sorting in which one cell nucleus divides into two nuclei. The same complement of chromosomes is received by each daughter cell in mitosis.
