DNA is duplicated into 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes
DNA is duplicated into 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes

The statement that is NOT accurate in detailing how mitosis plays a role is:

DNA is duplicated into 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes.

This statement is inaccurate because mitosis results in the duplication of DNA and produces 2 daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, not 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes. The process that produces 4 cells with half the number of chromosomes is meiosis, not mitosis.
