Question

If a parent cell has 48 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis and cytokinesis occurs? 96 chromosomes 48 chromosomes 12 chromosomes 24 chromosomes

Answer 1

48 chromosome

In mitosis, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosome as the parents cell in the form of chromatids( as chromatids sister had separated during anaphase ).

I suggest you to learn( differentiate) about the term like chromatin, chromatid, chromosome, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes so you can mastered this chapter.

Good luck!
