Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell receives only half the number of chromosomes from the parent cell. At this stage, a diploid cell with 16 chromosomes will have 8 chromosomes in the daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -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. When mitosis is not regulated correctly, health problems such as cancer can result.
Detailed explanation-4: -In the process of mitosis, two daughter cells are produced. Mitosis: Mitosis is the mechanism through which cells divide in an equational manner. When a cell reaches maturity, it splits into two daughter cells through this process.
