Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
If an organism starts with one cell and this cell has 10 chromosomes ____ how many CHROMOSOMES will each new cell have after cell division?
A
1
B
2
C
10
D
20
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Each daughter cell will have four chromosomes after completion of the division. Was this answer helpful?

Detailed explanation-2: -10 chromosomes each. Mitotic division results in two daughter cells with an identical chromosomal number and genetic content to the parental cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -At this point, nuclear division begins, and the parent cell is divided in half, forming 2 daughter cells. Each daughter cell will have half of the original 46 chromosomes, or 23 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -If a nucleus has ten chromosomes after replication, the cell will have only five chromatids. This is because each chromatid is made up of a pair of replicated chromosomes, which exist as sister chromatids during prophase and metaphase stages of the cell cycle.

Detailed explanation-5: -A diploid cell contains 10 chromosomes (2n = 10).
