GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -The other type of cell division, meiosis, ensures that humans have the same number of chromosomes in each generation.

Detailed explanation-4: -The dividing of the DNA ensures that both the “old” cell (parent cell) and the “new” cells (daughter cells) have the same genetic makeup and both will be diploid, or containing the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

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.
