Two identical daughter cells are produced at the end of a single mitotic division.
Somatic cells are produced from mitosis. Gametes are produced from meiosis.
Somatic cells undergo mitotic division but not meiotic division. Meiotic division is only seen in germ cells to produce gametes.
Eight mitotic divisions are required for a single cell to produce 256 cells, as each division doubles the number of cells. Starting with one cell, the first division produces 2 cells, the second division produces 4 cells, and so on until 256 cells are reached after 8 divisions.
Mitotic cell division
Skin cells are most directly produced by mitotic cell division in humans. This is because the outer layer of our skin, known as the epidermis, is constantly renewing itself through cell division to replace old skin cells that are shed.
At least four. First division produces two cells. Second division produces four. Third division produces eight cells. Fourth division produces sixteen cells. If out of these eight cells of third mitotic division only two cells divide further then we will have 10 cells.
2 daughter cells
Haploid instead of diploid. This means they have half the number of chromosomes compared to the original cell.
In humans, each daughter cell produced by mitotic cell division will have 46 chromosomes.
Yes, mutations are passed on to new cells during replication. If a mutation occurs in a cell's DNA, it will be present in all daughter cells that are produced through replication. This can lead to genetic variation and evolution over time.
Yes, the two daughter cells produced through mitotic cell division have equal chromosome numbers to the parent cell. This ensures that each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
