Meiosis

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
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: -Then in mitosis, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, so each daughter cell receives one chromatid from each chromosome. The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: If humans have 46 chromosomes in each of their body cells, you would expect to find 46 chromosomes in a daughter cell from mitosis. In the process of mitosis, one parent cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. The daughter cells are also genetically identical to the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-5: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.
