alleryA diploid (2n=46) human cell undergoes mitosis. The two daughter cells each have
A23 chromosomes
B46 chromosomes, same as the parent
C92 chromosomes, double the parent
Da count depending on cell type
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. 46 chromosomes, same as the parent
**Mitosis is equational:** chromosome number stays the same.
A 2n=46 parent makes two 2n=46 daughters.
Halving (to 23) happens in meiosis.
Doubling never happens in normal division.
