PLEASEEEE HELP 50 POINTS!!!!!!! Mitosis is vital for many different functions in multicellular organisms. However, mitosis is also involved in some pathological processes such as cancer. Suppose a physician is treating a patient with breast cancer and prescribes a chemotherapeutic regimen that inhibits cells during the mitotic phase.

Which of the following best describes the side effects of this regimen in the treatment of cancer?

A)impaired wound healing and stunted growth due to inhibition of a process that results in genetically distinct daughter cells

B)impaired wound healing and stunted growth due to inhibition of a process that results in genetically identical daughter cells

C)increased inflammation and scarring of the connective tissue due to stimulation of a process that results in genetically distinct daughter cells

D)increased inflammation and scarring of the connective tissue due to stimulation of a process that results in genetically identical daughter cells

The statement 'impaired wound healing and stunted growth produce genetically distinct daughter cells' BEST describes the side effects of this regimen in cancer treatment (Option A).

Mitosis is a cell division process in which a parent cell divides to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.

Mitosis produces somatic (body) cells, whereas meiosis produces sex (germinal) cells.

In cancer, mitosis may be impaired, thereby the daughter cells are not genetically identical.

In conclusion, the statement 'impaired wound healing and stunted growth produce genetically distinct daughter cells' BEST describes the side effects of this regimen in cancer treatment (Option A).
