Question

If an organism had 20 chromosomes, how many chromosomes would the daughter cell have after mitosis? After meiosis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

after mitosis the no. of chromosomes be diploid i.e 2n 20 from maternal and 20 from paternal.

after meiosis the no. of chromosomes be haploid I.e n 10 from maternal and 10 from paternal

Answer 2

Answer:

$\blue{\boxed{\bold{mitøsis:~20~chromøsomes.    }}}$      

$\red{\boxed{\bold{ meiøsis:~10~chrømosomes.  }}}$    

  

Step-by-step explanation:

mitosis and meiosis are both types of cell division;But both are different.

$\bold{\underline{mitosis }  }$ 

1. one cell division that results in two daughter cells used for growth, repair and development.
2. The cells are genetically identical with the same number of chromosome as the parent cells.

$\bold{\underline{meiosis}   }$ 

1. Two cell division that results in four daughter cells for sèxual reproduction.
2. The cells are genetically different and have half the number of chromosome as the parent cells.

According to the question,

The organism has 20 chromosome.

so;

mitosis: same number of chromosome =20

meiosis: half number of chromosome =20/2=10

$\therefore$After mitosis the daughter cells has 20 chromosome, where meiosis has 10 chromosome.
