The function of the mitotic cell cycle is to produce daughter cells that . a. have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell but not the same genetic content.
b. have the same number of chromatids as the parent cell had chromosomes.
c. have a random assortment of maternal and paternal chromosomes.
d. are genetically identical to the parent cell (assuming no mutation has occurred).
e. have none of the listed characteristics.

The answer is D.are genetically identical to the parent cell (assuming no mutation has occurred).

Explanation:

The function of the mitotic cell cycle is to produce daughter cells that .

the division results in the generation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells and each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes and all cell content inherited from the parent cell.

if your own plato the answer is b. the fern transitioned from sporophyte generation to gametophyte generation.

you didn't give any options but heres what i can tell you: an inference is likely to change based on additional observations. the latter is something that you have seen or sensed using your sensory organs while the former is like a conclusion out from what you have observed.
