Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The 2 daughter cells at the end of Mitosis have how many chromosomes compared to the original?
A
Half
B
Same
C
One-Third
D
None
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Once mitosis is complete, the cell has two groups of 46 chromosomes, each enclosed with their own nuclear membrane. The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

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. Because this process is so critical, the steps of mitosis are carefully controlled by certain genes.

Detailed explanation-5: -This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes. Beginning soon after fertilization (see below), all of the cells in your body were made this way.
