Final answer:
During mitosis of a cell with 10 chromosomes, 2 genetically identical daughter cells are produced, each containing 10 chromosomes.
Step-by-step explanation:
The student asked how many daughter cells are created when a cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, and how many chromosomes each daughter cell will have. The correct answer to this question is: 2 daughter cells are created, and each daughter cell has 10 chromosomes. This is option (a) 2, 10. During mitosis, the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell, then sister chromatids separate and are allocated equally to the two forming daughter cells. After the final step, called cytokinesis, the cells split into two genetically identical daughter cells, each containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, maintaining the diploid number.
