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

If a goat has 12 chromosomes in all it’s somatic cells, how many chromosomes will it have after mitosis?

A	6
B	24
C	12
D	36

Explanation:

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: -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: -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: -This type of cell division is called mitosis, and it produces cells with a total of 46 chromosomes. Beginning soon after fertilization (see below), all of the cells in your body were made this way.
