Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A cell containing 92 chromatids at metaphase of mitosis would, at its completion, produce two nuclei each containing how many chromosomes?

A	12
B	16
C	23
D	46

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -So option B 23 will be the answer of the question We have.

Detailed explanation-2: -After replication there are a total of 92 sister chromatids in each cell. There are 46 individual chromosomes in each cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -92 chromatids present at metaphase of mitotic cell division means there are 46 chromosomes, each with two chromatids. Two sister chromatids of a chromosome remain attached at centromere during metaphase; but, the two will soon separate in anaphase stage of cell division to move to opposite poles.

Detailed explanation-4: -When the cell divides, the copies are pulled apart, and each new cell gets one identical copy of each chromosome. This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -During anaphase, each of the cell’s 46 chromosomes is split into singular chromatids, and each chromatid is considered a separate chromosome structure for a total of 92 chromosomes.
