Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During Mitosis, a parent cell that has 46 chromosomes will produce 2 daughter cells, each containing ____ chromosomes
A
23
B
46
C
92
D
22
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In mitosis cell division the chromosomes get distributed between the offspring with the same copy of genetic material from the parent. Thus, the parent cell with 46 chromosomes is duplicated and divided within the two daughter cells of 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -When the cell divides, the copies are pulled apart, and each new cell gets one identical copy of each chromosome. This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -The daughter cells are also genetically identical to the parent cell. All of the 46 chromosomes in somatic cells divide and then separate through the process of mitosis. The result is two daughter cells that also contain 46 chromosomes.
