Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If a parent cell going through mitosis starts with 22 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will be in the daughter cells?
A
22
B
11
C
44
D
15
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -If a parent cell has 22 chromosomes, the daughter cells following meiosis II will have. a. 22 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -If the chromosome number for an organism is 22 before mitosis, then the chromosome number of each daughter cell after mitosis has taken place will also be 22. This is because mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical in terms of chromosome number and the genetic content of the chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes. Each chromosome consists of 2 sister chromatids.

Detailed explanation-4: -In mitosis, the parent cell (the cell that will divide to produce 2 daughter cells) contains 46 chromosomes. Since, there are 23 different chromosomes in the body, the parent cell contains 2 copies of each chromosome. This makes the parent cell diploid.

Detailed explanation-5: -Complete answer: If an organism has 20 chromosomes, then the number of chromosomes the daughter cells have after mitosis is 20 because when a cell divides by the process of mitosis it produces two clone daughter cells having the same number of chromosomes (20) as the parent cell has.
