Which of the following statements about daughter cells are true? (Select all that apply.) a. They each contain a nucleus.
b. They each are smaller than the parent cell, but will grow to a full size.
c. They each contain different combinations of the parent cell’s genetic material.
d. They each contain the same genetic material.

a.They each contain a nucleus.

b.They each are smaller than the parent cell, but will grow to a full size.

c.They each contain different combinations of the parent cell’s genetic material.

Explanation:

When a Mother cell divides itself asexually or sexually (typically through the process of Binary Fission or Meiosis or Mitosis) the daughter cells formed inherit the contents and the organnels of the Parent Cell almost equally. This includes the Nucleus and Cytoplasm. The nucleus plays a key role in the development of the Daughter Cells as it directs various processes. Initially, the Daughter cells are smaller than the parent cell due to diversified division but ultimately catch up and grow in the later stages of its life. The daughter cells do contain the same number of chromosomes but may have different sets of them randomly.

"1. it should be, it has been for about 20 years, and it's really not much different in the end than breeding animals to have particular traits. there are always concerns about genetically engineered animals/plants affecting the environment in unexpected negative ways, but i can't think of an example where the fears didn't turn out to be baseless.  

first, as you point out, it would be a great advance in pharmacology, to be able to tailor drugs and their doses to me. the pros involve better medical treatment. the cons involve privacy issues like insurance companies denying coverage to people with genetic risk factors. looking at dna markers wouldn't affect the frequency of genetic diseases, but it would allow detection of them earlier. and ok, actually i suppose that if people used this information to avoid having children with genetic diseases, some might decrease in frequency."
