To answer:
The reason of two cells produced by the cell cycle is genetically identical.
Introduction:
Cell cycle is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication of its DNA to produce two daughter cell and mitosis is the part of the cell-division cycle.
Explanation of Solution
Actively dividing eukaryote cells pass through a series of stages collectively called as the cell cycle: two gap phase or growth phase (G1 and G2); and S phase (for synthesis), in which the genetic material is duplicated; and an M phase in which mitosis partitions the genetic material and the cell divides. The period between mitotic divisions that is G1, S and G2 is phase is known as interphase.
From a single cell, the cell cycle produces two cells that contain the same genetic information. The resulting daughter cells are genetically identical with each other and with their parent cell because DNA synthesis in the S phase of the cell cycle creates an extra copy of each DNA molecules, giving rise to two genetically identical sister chromatids.
