When a body cell divides through the process of mitosis the chromosomes in the daughter cells are identical to the chromosomes of the parent cell (Option B).

  • Mitosis is a type of cell division by which a parental somatic (body) cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells, i.e., two cells having the same content and type of chromosomes as the parental cell.

  • Mitosis is a process that has several sequential steps: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.

  • During metaphase, homologous pairs of chromosomes align at the equator plate of the cell in order to be separated during anaphase.

In conclusion, when a body cell divides through the process of mitosis the chromosomes in the daughter cells are identical to the chromosomes of the parent cell (Option B).
