Select the correct answer. A cell of an organism has four chromosomes. It undergoes a process at the end of which two daughter cells are produced. Each daughter cell has four chromosomes. Which process is described? A. fertilization B. meiosis C. mitosis

The process described in the problem is **C. mitosis**. Here's the reasoning: 1. **Chromosome Count**: The original cell has four chromosomes, and after the process, each daughter cell also has four chromosomes. This indicates that the chromosome number remains the same, which is characteristic of mitosis. 2. **Daughter Cells**: Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, maintaining the same chromosome number. 3. **Meiosis**: This process typically reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes (in this case, two chromosomes each if starting with four). 4. **Fertilization**: This is the fusion of two gametes (sperm and egg) and does not fit the description of a cell dividing into two daughter cells. Thus, the correct answer is **C. mitosis**.
