Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-2: -After mitosis, each of the eight chromosomes are in each daughter cell. These two cells are exact copies of the original cell. We now have enough information to answer our question. In a somatic cell of a fruit fly with eight chromosomes, the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell after mitosis is eight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: The daughter cells would all have 8 chromosomes just like the original parent cell.
