Answer 1

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

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

This statement is inaccurate because during mitosis, a single cell divides to produce two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, not four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes. The process that produces four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes is meiosis, which is involved in sexual reproduction.
