GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -If the cells have 12 chromosomes during interphase, the number of chromosomes will be retained as 12 in each of the daughter cells even after the completion of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -In the G1 phase, there are 12 chromosomes. In the S-phase of the cell cycle, the amount of DNA gets doubled. There is doubling of the chromatids but the chromosomes number remains same. The number of chromosomes in the G2 phase will be same as 12 chromosomes and the number of chromatids will be 24.

Detailed explanation-3: -24. After mitosis, two identical cells are produced with the same original number of chromosomes of the parent’s cell. In this case, if a cell has 12 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 12 chromosomes after mitosis.

Detailed explanation-4: -A plant cell has 12 chromosomes at the end of mitosis.

Detailed explanation-5: -So if a cell has 12 chromosomes at the end of meiosis I which is reduction division, it means that the parent cell would have had 24 chromosomes in prophase I. At the end of meiosis II (which is similar to mitosis and hence, equational division occurs) it would have 12 chromosomes.
