Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
After mitosis and cytokinesis, a parent cell that is 2n=14, will have produced:
A
2 cells, 2n=14
B
2 cells, n=7
C
4 cells, 2n=14
D
4 cells, n=7
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis is a type of cell division where the number of chromosomes of the daughter cell will be same as the parent cell. If the parent cell had 14 chromosomes, then the 2 daughter cells will also have 14 chromosomes each.

Detailed explanation-2: -with 19 chromosomes Chromosomal polymorphism resulting from two pericentric inversions in Akodon arviculoides (2n = 14) has been described (Yonenaga, 1972a).

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis ends with 2 identical cells, each with 2N chromosomes and 2X DNA content. All eukaryotic cells replicate via mitosis, except germline cells that undergo meiosis (see below) to produce gametes (eggs and sperm).

Detailed explanation-4: -Answer and Explanation: If n=14 is the chromosome number of a species, that means considering that the normal somatic cell is diploid, the chromosome number will be 2n=28. Therefore in each of the somatic cells, there will be a total of 28 chromosomes or 14 pairs of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-5: -If in a cell the diploid chromosome number is 14, during meiosis there will form seven pairs of homologous chromosomes. The two chromosomes in each of these seven pairs will exchange segments leading to mixing of characters.
