Detailed explanation-2: -SOLVED: An organism has 28 pairs of chromosomes in its diploid somatic cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -One molecule of DNA and one protein make up one chromosome. Chromosomes are different sizes, and proteins called histones allow them to pack up small enough to fit in a nucleus.
Detailed explanation-4: -Each of the four daughter cells will have half the number of total chromosomes as compared with the parent cell. Therefore, the daughter cell will have 282=14chromosomes 28 2 = 14 c h r o m o s o m e s .
