CELL DAMAGE

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

Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-2: -Telophase II: During telophase II, cell division begins again in each of the two daughter cells, creating 4 daughter cells. Each of these 4 daughter cells contains 23 chromosomes, making them haploid, and none of the 4 is exactly alike (due to crossing over and independent assortment).

Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, when a cell has 4 chromosomes during interphase, after cellular division, the daughter cells will have 2 chromosomes each.
