Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -Meiosis is also called reduction division. This type of cell division is involved in formation of gametes. The number of chromosomes is reduced to half at the end of meiosis. So, a cell having 20 chromosomes will give rise to four daughter cells having 10 chromosomes after meiosis.
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: -Mitosis is a fundamental process for life. During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-5: -The 20 chromosomes would be duplicated, creating a diploid cell with 40 total chromosomes. In meiosis I, the diploid cell would be divided into two haploid cells, each with 20 chromosomes.
