Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
During normal mitotic division, a parent cell having 8 chromosomes will produce two daughter cells, each containing
A
two chromosomes
B
four chromosomes
C
eight chromosomes
D
sixteen chromosomes
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So the correct answer is ‘four chromosomes’.

Detailed explanation-2: -So the correct answer is ‘four chromosomes’.

Detailed explanation-3: -This is because when a cell undergoes mitosis, the amount of chromosomes in that cell will double (in this scenario into 16 chromosomes), but will later be divided into the two daughter cells (8 chromosomes each).

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis II, each cell (i.e., gamete) would have half the original number of chromosomes, that is, 15 chromosomes. 2.
