If a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body cells, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
A
11
B
19
C
38
D
76
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The chromosome number during mitosis always remains the same. If the cat cell had 38 chromosomes, the resulting daughter cells will also have 38 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-2: -The correct option is C Four daughter cells will be formed with 19 chromosomes. Q. A cell with 38 chromosomes divides by the process of meiosis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Early studies of mitotic chromosomes of the domestic cat revealed an easily distinguishable karyotype consisting of 18 autosomal chromosomes and the XY sex chromosome pair, resulting in a 2N complement of 38 chromosomes for the cat genome (Figure 43-1 ).

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -2n=38. So n=19. Therefore, 19 chromosomes are inherited from each parent. Gametes (haploid) have 19 chromosomes.
