What happens after mitosis?

Answer
A
The “parent” cell dies.
B
DNA is synthesized.
C
The cell cycle begins again.
D
The chromosomes align.

Explanation

After mitosis, the two daughter cells enter interphase, and the cell cycle begins again. DNA synthesis happens earlier, during the S phase of interphase, while chromosome alignment occurs during mitosis. The parent cell does not simply die; it divides to form daughter cells.
