b. 4 cells are formed, each having half the number of chromosomes as the original cell.
c. 2 cells are formed, each having the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.
d. 4 cells are formed, each having the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.

Explanation:

The products of mitosis are called diploid cells, they have the complete sets of chromosomes. These cells are usually important for activities such as growth, repair etc. They make up our normal body (somatic) cells. Therefore, the answer is 2 genetically identical cells.

the answers are as following:

1. c. double helix, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, chromosome

2. b. g2 phase, preparation for mitosis

3. d. interphase consists of the g1, s, and g2 phases

4. c. metaphase

5. a. chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set
