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.
