Which set of answers is correct to label the diagram below?
![]()

Part A: Pick the word or phrase in each set of parenthese to correctly complete the statement about the process of mitosis.
Mitosis is a form of ( sexual / asexual ) reproduction that produces daughter cells with genetic information tht is ( identical to / modified by / different from ) the parent cell.
A model of mitosis is shown below beginning with the prophase stage. Pick the letter sequence of the cell stages that is the correct order of the steps of mitosis. Some cell stages may be used more than once and some may not be used at all.
Arctic hares are adapted to live in cold environments such as the Arctic.
