Which of the following is the result of mitosis in a typical somatic cell?
A
One daughter cell and one polar body produced by asymmetric cytokinesis
B
Two genetically distinct diploid daughter cells produced after homologous chromosomes separate
C
Four genetically distinct haploid cells with half the chromosome number of the parent cell
D
Two genetically identical diploid daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell

Recall that mitosis is a type of cell division that occurs in somatic (non-reproductive) cells and is responsible for growth, repair, and maintenance.
Understand that during mitosis, a single parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells that are genetically identical to each other and to the original parent cell.
Recognize that mitosis maintains the chromosome number of the parent cell, meaning if the parent cell is diploid (2n), each daughter cell will also be diploid (2n).
Differentiate mitosis from meiosis, where meiosis produces four genetically distinct haploid cells (n) and involves homologous chromosome separation and reduction of chromosome number.
Conclude that the correct description of mitosis is the production of two genetically identical diploid daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell.
