These answers are, well, misguided. The number of chromosomes visible at the beginning of mitosis is whatever the full complement of chromosomes is for that organism. In humans, it would be 46. As mitosis proceeds, these are replicated to 92, but at the very beginning of mitosis you would still have the diploid number.
At the beginning of mitosis, each chromosome is duplicated and consists of two identical sister chromatids joined together. Therefore, the number of visible chromosomes at the start of mitosis is equal to the number of unique chromosomes in the cell. This number varies depending on the organism, but for humans, there are 46 visible chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis.
There are four stages in the process of mitosis: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
If the cell has 8 chromosomes, it should have 8 at the very beginning of mitosis. However during the interphase, specifically the S phase, the chromosomes are duplicated which means that for most of the cell cycle, the cell has 16 chromosomes. However after the cells splits, each daughter cells is left with 8 chromosomes, which is identical to the number of chromosomes in the original parent cell. Hope this helps!
Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.
During mitosis, each cell has 46 chromosomes and 92 chromatids.
Two chromatids are present in a chromosome at the beginning of mitosis.

Interphase. The process of meiosis has many similarities to the process of mitosis: chromosomes replicate before the process begins, and shorten and thicken to look like the chromosomes at the beginning of mitosis (condensation).
It varies from species to species in human there are 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
There are 46 chromosomes after mitosis. It stays the same from the beginning.
64 (32 pairs)
Cytokinesis immediately follows mitosis in many cells.
There is only one parent need in mitosis. :)
