How many chromosomes will each new cell have after the parent cell divides?

If you are talking about mitosis, then for a typical eukaryotic cell, after mitosis, each daughter cell will contain the same amount of chromosomes as the parent cell (ie. 2n --> two 2n cells.) If you are talking about meiosis, then each will contain half the chromosomes as the parent cell (ie. 2n --> four n cells)

Why do chromosomes in parent cell duplicate during mitosis?
Chromosomes doubles during the S phase of inter-phase, which occurs before Mitosis. During the process of mitoses cell divides into 2 daughter cells from a single parent hence, before mitoses cells must duplicate so that each new cell has a sufficient set of genetic material.
What is the reason the cell undergoes mitosis when it makes another cell?
When a body cell reproduces, the purpose is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Before mitosis, the DNA in the parent cell replicates, resulting in a doubling of the chromosomes. Mitosis separates the chromosomes into two new nuclei, identical to the parent cell. Then the cell divides by cytokinesis, producing two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as each other and the parent cell.
In meiosis if the parent cell has 8 chromosomes each daughter cell will have?
Each daughter cell will have 4 chromosomes. A parent cell is diploid and 2N, therefore N=4 for the parent cell because it has 8 chromosomes. After meiosis, a daughter cell is N and therefore has 4 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
They would each have 52. When a cell divides through mitosis, it copies the original chromosomes, pulls them apart so that there is a copy of the same set of chromosomes on each side of the cell, then divides. The original set of chromosomes will always be the exact same set as the daughter cell's set of chromosomes (unless something went horribly wrong.) -if you are on a worksheet called "Section 1 Reinforcement - Cell Division and Mitosis" for number 8, I'm in the same situation...
In mitosis if a parent cell has 16 chromosomes each daughter cell will have 8 chromosomestrue or false?
False. Each daughter cell would have 16 chromosomes just like the parent cell after mitosis.
A parent cell has 10 chromosomes how many chromosomes will each new cell have after the parent cell divides?
I believe 5 chromosomes because it's splitting evenly between 2 new cells. And of course the cell is smaller, but they both receive half of the DNA of the parent cell if that makes sense.

What is mitosis about?
Mitosis is the process a single cell divides into two diploid cells. Each cell has the same amount and quality of chromosomes as the parent cell.

If a diploid cell containing 28 chromosomes undergoes meiosis how many chromosomes will each daughter have?
In mitosis, the daughter cells each have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

When a cell divides through mitosis each daughter cell receives half of the parent cell's genetic code is it true?
No. Due to DNA replication before mitosis, each daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. So if the parent cell has 38 chromosomes, the daughter cells will have 38 chromosomes.
A parent cell has 16 chromosomes how many does each daughter cell get?
8 from each parent.
How many chromosomes does each parent sex cell give to their offspring?
Each parent sex cell gives 23 chromosomes to their offspring in humans
Ends of chromosomes that get shorter each time a cell divides?
Telomeres.
What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell after meosis?
After meiosis, each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. For example, in humans the parent cell would have 46 chromosomes, but after meiotic cell division, the daughter cells will each have 23 chromosomes.
