Which statement BEST differentiates amitosis from other forms of nuclear division like mitosis and meiosis?
Amitosis involves DNA replication, while mitosis and meiosis do not.
Amitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, while mitosis and meiosis produce genetically diverse cells.
Amitosis occurs in somatic cells, while mitosis and meiosis occur in germ cells.
Amitosis lacks chromosome condensation and spindle formation, unlike mitosis and meiosis.
Which statement best describes the genetic outcome of amitosis?
Genetic material is equally distributed to daughter cells
Genetic material is distributed, but not necessarily equally
Genetic material is not replicated before division
Genetic recombination occurs
In which of the following organisms is amitosis most likely to be observed?
Yeast
Bacteria
Fruit fly

Increased energy expenditure
Increased risk of unequal distribution of genetic material
Formation of a complex spindle apparatus
Which statement is TRUE regarding amitosis?
It involves the formation of chromosomes.
It is a relatively faster process than mitosis.
It ensures equal distribution of genetic material.
It is the most common type of cell division in multicellular organisms.
