Question
Chapter 16.1, Problem 1CC
Summary Introduction
To explain:
The reason why humans are not composed of similar or identical cells in spite of being a product of many mitotic divisions.
Introduction:
Mitosis is a type of cell division, which results in the formation of two identical daughter cells. It only occurs in vegetative cells and the ploidy of the cells remains the same. So, it is also called equational division. The whole process of mitosis completes in four phases, namely, prophase (I phase), metaphase (II phase), anaphase (III phase), and telophase (IV phase).

Normal events in mitosis gives rise to daughter cells with exactly the same chromosome number and genetic material. What may be expected to happen chromosomally and genetically to:
1. an unfertilized egg that undergoes mitosis, but fails to undergo cytokinesis?
2. a cell with a chromosome that lost its centromere?
3. a cell with a chromosome that contains two centromeres?
MAKE CONNECTIONS As you learned in Chapter 12,mitosis gives rise to two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Yet you, the product ofmany mitotic divisions, are not composed of identical,zygote-like cells. Why?
In your own words,briefly describe the process of mitosis and differentiation.
