The process modeled in Figure 1 is closely related to the process modeled in Figure 2. Which of the following BEST explains why the DNA of the daughter cells is the same as the parent?

One cell replicates its DNA and creates new cells after combining genetic material with another
source.

One parent cell replicates its DNA and creates new cells or offspring without a combination of
genetic material from another source.

Two parent cells combine genetic material into one cell, then that cell divides to create new cells or
organisms that are a combination of both parents.

Two parent cells combine genetic material into one cell, then that cell divides to create new cells or
organisms that are identical to only one of the parents.
