Answer 1

still 12

Step-by-step explanation:

After mitosis, two identical cells are produced with the same original number of chromosomes of the parent's cell. In this case, if a cell has 12 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 12 chromosomes after mitosis.

Mitosis is where the cells will spilt equally into 2

12 chromosomes.

A DAUGHTER cell is considered an identical cell to the original cell, therefore since the original cell contained 12 chromosomes each daughter cell would then have 12 chromosomes as well.
