An adult human's skin cell has 2n=46 chromosomes. The chromosome number of its mitotic daughter is
A2n=46, identical
Bn=23, halved
C4n=92, doubled
Ddepends on skin layer
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 2n=46, identical
Mitosis maintains chromosome count. Each daughter cell carries the same 2n=46. Halving to 23 happens in meiosis (gamete formation), not mitosis.
