What replicates during mitosis? (1 point)

During mitosis, the primary focus is on the replication and segregation of the cell’s genetic material (chromosomes) to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes. However, in terms of the options presented, the best answer would be cells, as the entire process of mitosis results in the division of one cell into two genetically identical cells. While cytoplasm and organelles are also divided, they do not replicate in the same direct sense as the cell itself. Proteins are synthesized throughout the cell cycle, but their specific replication is not a defining feature of mitosis. Therefore, the answer is cells.
