Can anyone help me with this one?

Sure.

anonymous · Answer

I was thinking it was either A or C?  But not sure?

wach · Answer

It's not C. In mitosis, the daughter cells of eukaryotic cells are identical - they are differentiated in meiosis. I believe A would be correct, since eukaryotes don't use binary fission.
