Detailed explanation-1: -As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the original cell during cytokinesis: receives an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the original cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -In mitosis a cell divides to form two identical daughter cells. It is important that the daughter cells have a copy of every chromosome, so the process involves copying the chromosomes first and then carefully separating the copies to give each new cell a full set.
Detailed explanation-3: -The two daughter cells produced during mitosis are genetically identical to each other and the original parent cell. This is so that the cells can have the same genetic material and serve the same function in the body.
Detailed explanation-4: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes.
