  • Chromosomes in Mitosis: Understanding Cell Division
    Cells formed during mitosis have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

    Here's why:

    * Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

    * The goal of mitosis is to create more cells for growth and repair.

    * During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated, and then each daughter cell receives a complete set of chromosomes.

    Therefore, if a human cell (with 46 chromosomes) undergoes mitosis, each resulting daughter cell will also have 46 chromosomes.
