Which of the following best describes how the parent cell produces daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes during asexual reproduction?

sister chromatids are copied during interphase, and during anaphase they separate to form two nuclei.
sister chromatids are separated into two nuclei, and after telophase they are replicated.
the chromosomes are copied during interphase, and during mitosis they separate into two nuclei.
the chromosomes are separated during interphase and form two individual nuclei during prophase.

Sister chromatids are copied during interphase, and during anaphase they separate to form two nuclei.

Explanation:

During the interphase of the cell cycle, the sister chromatids in the cells are copied to give a full diploid cell. The copied sister chromatids are then divided into two nuclei during mitosis. The division occur at the anaphase stage of mitosis.

The daughter cells produced each starts its own journey into life and enters the cell cycle where the chromatids are copied during the interphase.

i'm thinking (a) to keep sand in place; ////////////

explanation: a sand fence or sandbreak, like a snow fence, is used to force windblown, drifting sand to accumulate in a desired place. sand fences are employed to control erosion, sand dune stabilization, keep sand off roadways, and to recruit new material in desert areas.

as in mitosis, dna replication occurs during interphase.   in meiosis, it occurs specifically in s phase of interphase 1.
