The parceling out of maternal determinants during mitosis is known as

A) homeostasis.
B) induction.
C) morphogenesis.
D) cytoplasmic segregation.
E) aging.

The process of distributing maternal determinants during cell division is known as cytoplasmic segregation. This process ensures that the developing embryo receives all of the necessary components for proper development. Homeostasis refers to the maintenance of a stable internal environment, induction is the process by which one group of cells influences the development of nearby cells, and morphogenesis refers to the process of shaping and forming tissues and organs during development. Aging, while a biological process, is not relevant to this question.
