Option D is correct. ( It forms two identical daughter cells ) .
Mitosis is a process in which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. It is a equational division. The daughter cells contains same genetic material as of parent. It consists of 4 phases, namely prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. During prophase, nuclear membrane disintegrate and asters move at two poles. During metaphse, they align themselves on the metaphase place. The centromeres separate at the onset of anaphase. In telophase, nuclear membrane appears around each set of chromosomes.
