Detailed explanation-1: -A cell with 10 chromosomes undergoes mitosis. The number of chromosomes that each of the new cells will have is c. 10 chromosomes each. Mitotic division results in two daughter cells with an identical chromosomal number and genetic content to the parental cell.
Detailed explanation-2: -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.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
Detailed explanation-4: -Humans normally have 46 chromosomes in each cell, divided into 23 pairs. Two copies of chromosome 10, one copy inherited from each parent, form one of the pairs.
Detailed explanation-5: -Final answer: A cell has 5 pairs of chromosomes. After mitotic division, the number of chromosomes in daughter cells will be 10.
