Final answer:
In mitosis, each daughter cell receives one complete set of chromosomes.
Step-by-step explanation:
In mitosis, when 2 sets of genetic material separate, each daughter cell receives one complete set of chromosomes.
During mitosis, after the sister chromatids separate, each separate chromatid is now known as a chromosome. Each resulting chromosome is made of DNA from just one chromatid. So, each daughter cell receives one copy of each chromosome.
Using humans as an example, one set of 23 chromosomes is present in the egg donated by the mother. The father provides the other set of 23 chromosomes in the sperm that fertilizes the egg. Every cell of the multicellular offspring has copies of the original two sets of homologous chromosomes. In prophase I of meiosis, the homologous chromosomes form the tetrads.
