Question

Mitosis starts and ends with

diploid cells. That means they
have tWO sets of chromosomes
(both parents each contribute a
set). In humans, how many
chromosomes should be in each
of these diploid cells after
mitosis?
6.

Answer 1

23

Step-by-step explanation:

After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes; 46. Haploid cells that are generated through meiosis, such as egg and sperm, only have 23 chromosomes, because, remember, meiosis is a "reduction division."
