A cell with 24 chromosomes undergoes mitosis twice. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

When you say 24 chromosomes BEGINS mitosis, do you mean after interphase(after DNA is replicated)? If you do mean that, then each daughter cell would have 12 chromosomes, because during interphase, DNA is replicated, and the parent cell splits into two daughter cells, which each of them has 12 chromosomes.

∙ 15y agoFirst every somatic cell in your body has 22 chromosomes plus one sexual chromosome in addition you have a pair of each of these chromosomes one from your mother and one from your father so in total humans have 46 chromosomes. So IF you had 46 chromosomes at the the beginning of meisos each cell would inherit a copy of each so it would divide by 2 = 23 these sister cells will carry a copy of each chromosome. Remember the purpose of meiosis is to reduce the number of chromosome in germ cells and includes crossover which gives you your genictic variablility. Then there is a second phase of meisos which seperates the sister chromatids ( pretty much mitosis at this point) generated from before so now you have 4 cells each with a unique combination of genes. Here a link to give you a visual depcition. Good luck with your studies! http://www.Biology.iupui.edu/biocourses/n100/2k4ch9meiosisnotes.html

Why is the s phase so important?
With twice the amount of chromosomes in the parent cell, each daughter cell can have a normal number of chromosomes after the cell splits in mitosis.
If a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body cells how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?
38, as the chromosomes would be duplicated to 76 during the S phase of interphase, then would be divided into two cells during mitosis.
Do chromosomes have twice the DNA that one cell needs?
No. Chromosomes have the exact number of DNA a cell needs. When undergoing mitosis, the chromosomes replicate inside the cell. Only during that small period of time, does a normal human cell have twice the DNA that a cell needs. The end stage of mitosis is when the cell divides into two, equally dividing the DNA amongst the two daughter cells.
What is the chromosome number of the parent cell in mitosis?
28
What is a characteristic of meiosis and not meiosis?
The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.
What will happen to an unfertilized egg that undergoes mitosis but not cytokinesis?
Mitosis will separate the sister-chromatids of each chromosome, and each will now be called a chromosome (or daughter-chromosome).Without cytokinesis, the mother-cell will not split into two daughter-cells. The result will be a cell with twice as many chromosomes as the mother-cell.Since an unfertilized egg (ovum) is a gamete, it must be haploid. Doubling the number of chromosomes will produce a diploid cell.

How many cells are formed at the end of mitosis?
Mitosis is the cell cycle phase wherein the cell nucleus chromosomes are separated. After mitosis, two identical cells will be created.

How many chromosomes are in cells formed during mitosis?
A cell undergoing mitosis has twice the usual number of chromosomes for that species. For example, human body cells have 46 chromosomes, but after DNA replication, which must occur before mitosis, a human body cell will have 92 chromosomes.
What is meiosis about?
Meiosis is Sexual Reproduction, unlike Mitosis, that is responsible for cell growth and other functions. Meiosis has the same phases as Mitosis except that it undergoes those phase twice (Meiosis l and ll). This results in 4 daughter cells, unlike Mitosis which results in only 2 daughter cells. Also, in Mitosis the daughter cells are identical to the original cell, while in Meiosis, it increases genetic variation, because it has characteristics of both parent cells.

The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.
The first step in meiosis?
Interphase then Mitosis then Cytokinesis then Mitosis the Cytokinesis That's what I remember. Mitosis will occur twice; the reason why there 4 daughter cells (gametes) and they are haploid.
If a cell has six chromosomes at the begginnig of its cell cycle how many chromatids will line up at the equator of the cell during mitosis?
twice as many as when the cell is not undergoing mitosis
