The best description for why your answer to Part A 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.**
This emphasizes the crucial role of mitosis in ensuring that daughter cells have the same genetic material as the parent cell, which is essential for proper growth, repair, and maintenance of tissues.
