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

DNA is duplicated in each cell that undergoes mitosis so that gene expression can match that of the non-injured skin

The statement that is NOT accurate regarding 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 incorrect because, in mitosis, one parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. It does not produce four daughter cells, nor does it result in cells with half the number of chromosomes; that occurs during meiosis, which is a different process involved in sexual reproduction.
