Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an organism starts with one cell and this cell has 10 chromosomes ____ how many CHROMOSOMES will each new cell have after cell division?
A
1
B
2
C
10
D
20
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell will have four chromosomes after completion of the division. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -10 chromosomes each. Mitotic division results in two daughter cells with an identical chromosomal number and genetic content to the parental cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: If a cell containing 10 chromosomes divides by mitosis two daughter cells will be produced. Mitosis is the process of cell division and creates two identical daughter cells from one parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -So, the haploid chromosome number will be= 10/2= 5. The number of possible chromosome pairs is given by= 2n, where n is the haploid chromosome number. So, the number of chromosome pairs for having a diploid chromosome number of 10 will be= 25. So, the correct answer is ‘25’.
