Answer 2

Answer:

OPTION (D) 92

Explanation:

• We know that one somatic cell in human beings consists of $23$ pairs of chromosomes. This means that there are $46$ different chromosomes ($23 \times 2$), one from the mother and another from the father.
• After completing the S phase of the cell cycle, the mother and the father produces a second copy of each chromosome resulting in the formation of sister chromatids.
• Post the event of replication and before cell division, there will be $92$ chromatids in a diploid cell.

Hence, a diploid body cell will contain $92$ chromatids just prior to cell division.
