So the original cell has become two daughter cells.

原来的细胞变成了两个子细胞。

The daughter cells are identical to one another, identical to the parent cell.

子细胞彼此相同，与母细胞相同。

During meiosis, one cell divides twice to form four daughter cells.

在减数分裂过程中，一个细胞分裂两次，形成四个子细胞。

Each daughter cell now has half the number of chromosomes but each chromosome consists of a pair of chromatids.

现在每个子细胞都有一半的染色体，但每个染色体都由一对染色单体组成。

These four daughter cells only have half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell; they are haploid.

这四个子细胞的染色体数目只有母细胞的一半；它们是单倍体。

Here it undergoes binary fission to create two daughter cells.

在这里它经历二元裂变产生两个子细胞。

But in all of these cases each daughter cell is a clone of the mother.

但在所有这些情况下，每个子细胞都是母亲的克隆。

Within 2 months, daughter cells stuck to their mothers and formed multicellular structures dubbed snowflakes because of their shape.

在 2 个月内，子细胞粘附在母细胞上，形成因其形状而被称为雪花的多细胞结构。

These are many tiny pieces of unique DNA that will be incorporated over time into the genomes of daughter cells.

这些是许多微小的独特 DNA 片段，随着时间的推移，它们将被整合到子细胞的基因组中。

Crucially, these changes are generally passed on to the daughter cells produced when a cell divides, and are thus perpetuated throughout an animal's life.

至关重要的一点是，这些变化一般在细胞分裂的同时传递给子细胞，因此这些变化将贯穿动物的一生。
