Carol is studying mitosis in her biology class. during a biology lab, she is given information about an unknown organism. what might be the best way to test to see that the organism has undergone mitosis? a) carol notices that segregation of homologous chromosomes occurred b) carol notices that the daughter cells are half the size of the parent cell c) carol identifies the number of chromosomes before and after cell division to be 78. d) carol identifies 78 chromosomes before cell division and 39 chromosomes after cell division. eliminate

The Answer is C, hope that helped.                            

Option (C).

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division, during which one parent cell divides to form two new daughter cells, which are identical to their parent cell. The new daughter cells have same type and number of chromosomes as present in parent cell.

So, the if the organism has undergone mitosis, the number of chromosomes should be similar before and after the cell division.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
