A

Somatic cells (body cells)

19
Q

What does it mean to say that cells are diploid?

A

They have 46 chromosomes, the same amount as the parent cell

20
Q

What is formed due to mitosis?

A

Two identical daughter cells

21
Q

What are the results of mitosis?

A
  1. 2 identical daughter cells are formed
  2. Cells are diploid
  3. Production of somatic cells
  4. New cells are made for the functions of growth and repair
