4 daughter cells, each with 40 chromosomes

2 daughter cells, each with 10 chromosomes

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: At the end of this process, a single cell produces two new daughter cells, each having the same amount of genome as present in the parental (initial) cell. Therefore, a cell with 40 chromosomes during the initiation of mitosis will produce daughter cells having 40 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, if a diploid cell contains 40 chromosomes, then the haploid cell will contain 20 chromosomes. During meiosis, a diploid cell undergoes two successive rounds of cell division to form four haploid cells.
Detailed explanation-4: -Solution : (a) 20 chromosomes, because in merosis cell dicison chromosome number becomes halved.
