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!

Stage when chromosomes arrive at poles?

During mitosis, in the stage of telophase daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles. Daughter chromosomes begin their travel to the end poles in the stage of anaphase.


Which phase chromosomes are distributed equally to daughter cells?

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.

During mitosis if a parent cell has five chromosomes how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

The daughter cell will have five (5). The parent cell replicates its DNA in a stage of mitosis called Interphase before it splits, into two new daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes.


How do cells reproduce during mitosis?

During mitosis, the replicated chromosomes are divided into two genetically identical daughter nuclei, and then the cytoplasm divides during cytokinesis, forming two genetically identical daughter cells.

When do chromosome duplicate themselves during mitosis?

In Mitosis, the chromosomes duplicate themselves. In Meiosis 1, they duplicate, however they do not duplicate in meiosis 2.


When a cell divides by mitosis how is the chromosome number affected?

In the beginning of mitosis the number of chromosomes double. But since during mitosis the chromosomes are divided between the two daughter cells the number of chromosomes at the end is the same number as the beginning before doubling.

What do chromosomes do before mitosis?

Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in a cell replicate. This occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. Chromosomes need to replicate so that when the cell divides at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells each recieve a copy of the chromosomes.
