The parent cell will be diploid and contain paired chromosomes. The haploid cell will contain only one copy of each chromosome.

In humans for example there are 23 pairs of chromosomes. In a somatic cell, which is diploid, the 23 pairs are present. In a gamete (sperm or egg cell), which is haploid there are only 23 chromosomes - unpaired. This is so that when the sperm and egg meet at fertilisation there are 46 chromosomes - 23 pairs - the correct number for the organism.

How does mitosis differ in plants?

Plants have a structure called a cell plate which partitions the daughter cell from parent cell.


How does a daughter cell at the end of mitosis differ from its parent cell entering mitosis?

A daughter cell at the end of mitosis is smaller and has a duplicate set of chromosomes compared to its parent cell entering mitosis. Additionally, the daughter cell has identical genetic information to its parent cell.

In mitosis how does a daughter cell compare with its parent cell?

A daughter cell and its parent cell are exact copies of each other.


How many chromosomes does the daughter cell get from the parent cell?

In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How are daughter and parent cells alike?

Daughter and parent cells are alike in that they both contain genetic material and are part of the same cell division process. Daughter cells are formed from the division of parent cells and generally inherit similar characteristics from the parent cell.


How are daughter cells different from parent cell?

How are daughter cells different then the parent cell?

Daughter cells are smaller in volume than the parent cell. This is because they split the cytoplasm of the parent cell during cytokinesis.


What size of daughter cell relative to parent in mitosis?

In mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and are typically the same size as the parent cell. During the process, the parent cell duplicates its genetic material and then divides its cytoplasm, resulting in two daughter cells that retain the characteristics of the original cell. Thus, the size of the daughter cells remains comparable to that of the parent cell.


Which chromosomes are found in a daughter cell?

A daughter cell will typically contain a full set of chromosomes that are a combination of the parent cell's chromosomes after cell division. The exact number and composition of chromosomes will depend on whether the cell underwent mitosis or meiosis.


How does the number of chromosomes in the daughter cell compare with those in the parent cell?

The number of chromosomes in the daughter cell is typically the same as in the parent cell after cell division. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
