Question

A cell having 24 chromosomes undergoes mitotic division. What will be thechromosome
number (N) of the cell during its metaphase and chromosomal number in daughtercells?
Explain it with reason?

Answer 1

Explanation:

it will then have 22 chromosome as in miosis no.of chromosome gets half

Answer 2

Answer:

N(during metaphase)  = 24 × 2 = 48

N(in daughter cell) = 24

Explanation:

There are two ways cell division can happen in humans and most other animals, called mitosis and meiosis. When a cell divides by way of mitosis, it produces two clones of itself, each with the same number of chromosomes .The purpose of mitosis is to make more diploid cells. It works by copying each chromosome, and then separating the copies to different sides of the cell. That way, when the cell divides down the middle, each new cell gets its own copy of each chromosome.
