Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: If a cell with 80 chromosomes undergoes mitosis, the daughter cell will also have 80 chromosomes. The daughter cells will be genetically identical to one another.
Detailed explanation-2: -20. If a diploid cell contains 40 chromosomes, then the haploid cell contains 20 number of chromosomes. The haploid cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the diploid cells. Thus, if a diploid cell contains 40 chromosomes, then the haploid cell will contain 20 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-4: -10 chromosomes Was this answer helpful?
