One potential disadvantage of amitosis compared to mitosis is:
Slower cell division rate
Increased energy expenditure
Increased risk of unequal distribution of genetic material
Formation of a complex spindle apparatus

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.
The genetic material distribution in daughter cells produced by amitosis, compared to the parent cell, is generally:
Exactly identical
Significantly different
Randomly distributed with no predictable pattern
Approximately equal but not necessarily identical
