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 

Answer 1

The statement that is NOT accurate is:

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

This statement is incorrect because, during mitosis, one cell divides to form two daughter cells, not four. Additionally, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell, not half. Mitosis results in two diploid daughter cells (in organisms that are diploid) that each have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
