MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
An organism with 100 chromosomes undergoes Mitosis twice. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
A
25
B
50
C
100
D
200
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.

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: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-5: -Once mitosis is complete, the cell has two groups of 46 chromosomes, each enclosed with their own nuclear membrane. The cell then splits in two by a process called cytokinesis, creating two clones of the original cell, each with 46 monovalent chromosomes.
