Mitosis is vital for many different functions in multicellular organisms. However, mitosis is also involved in some pathological processes such as cancer. Suppose a physician is treating a patient with breast cancer and prescribes a chemotherapeutic regimen that inhibits cells during the mitotic phase. Which of the following best describes the side effects of this regimen in the treatment of cancer?

A) impaired wound healing and stunted growth due to inhibition of a process that results in genetically distinct daughter cells
B) impaired wound healing and stunted growth due to inhibition of a process that results in genetically identical daughter cells
C) increased inflammation and scarring of the connective tissue due to stimulation of a process that results in genetically distinct daughter cells
D) increased inflammation and scarring of the connective tissue due to stimulation of a process that results in genetically identical daughter cells
