Question

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after mitosis?

A.
none
B.
twice as many as the parent cell
C.
half as many as the parent cell
D.
the same number as the parent cell

Answer 1

C - Half as many as the parent cell

Step-by-step explanation:

At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
