A parent cell divides to form two genetically identical daughter cells in the process of mitosis. For mitosis to take place:   A. the parent cell must divide its DNA in half so each daughter cell gets only the genes needed to carry out its functions. In this way, differentiation occurs.   B. the parent cell must reproduce its DNA during telophase   C. the parent cell must first be fertilized   D. the parent cell must replicate its entire genome prior to mitosis   E. crossover must be delayed until the second cell division
