a parent cell has a total of 12 chromosomes. how many chromosomes will each of its daughter cells contain after mitosis? after meiosis?



Answer :

If the cells have 12 chromosomes during interphase, each daughter cell will continue to contain 12 chromosomes even after mitosis is complete. Then At the end of meiosis II (which is similar to mitosis and hence, equational division occurs) it would have 12 chromosomes.

what is mitosis ?

In cell biology, the cell cycle phase known as mitosis is when replicated chromosomes are divided into two new nuclei. Mitosis, the process of cell division, creates genetically identical cells with a constant number of chromosomes. Thus, equational division is another name for mitosis.

what is meiosis  ?

In sexually reproducing organisms, meiosis is a unique type of cell division of germ cells that results in the production of gametes, such as sperm or egg cells. It comprises two rounds of division, producing four cells with only one copy of each chromosome as a final product.
