Answer 1

The best response that describes why the answer must occur every time is:

D In order to maintain genetic continuity, it is important that mitosis create new cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. This is crucial for preserving the genetic information and ensuring that the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.
