You are observing a single cell under a microscope. You go home for the night, and the next day you see four cells. The four cells look similar, and when you stain them with a dye that binds to DNA they all appear to contain the same amount of DNA as the original cell. What likely happened overnight?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Mitosis (cell division)

Explanation:

  • The single cell most likely underwent 2 rounds of cell division, the first round being the singe cell dividing via mitosis to give rise to 2 cells.
  • The second round would be the 2 cells each undergoing a round of cell division each to give rise to 2 more cells.
