during mitosis the chromosomes copy themselves and split apart half of the sister chromatids going to each daughter cell
23 chromosomes with mother and 23 chromosomes with father pair 46 chromosomes
The mother cell has 4n the chromosomes. The daughter cells each have n. The chromosomes are also not identical because of independent assortment and crossing over.
The daughter cells resulting in mitotic cell division are genetically identical to the mother cell. This means that they have the same amount of chromosomes, which are replicated in the mother cell prior to splitting.
Mitosis, of course.
A cell's replicated chromosomes are distributed to its daughter cells so that the two new cells have a complete set of chromosomes/DNA, so that they can carry out their cellular functions.

meiosis
The chromosomes, which carry the code, duplicate, and half go to each daughter cell.
Meiosis
The daughter cells resulting in mitotic cell division are genetically identical to the mother cell. This means that they have the same amount of chromosomes, which are replicated in the mother cell prior to splitting.
The DNA replcates it to give evenly to each daughter cell
Meosis is called a reductional division. This means the daughter cells in a meotic cell division have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Parent cell (2n) ------> Meotic cell division ------> 2 daughter cells (n)
Mitosis, of course.
Parent cells are diploids, and daughter cells are haploids. Therefore, the daughter cells have half of the the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (chromosomes are DNA)
2 chromosomes
A cell's replicated chromosomes are distributed to its daughter cells so that the two new cells have a complete set of chromosomes/DNA, so that they can carry out their cellular functions.
