As a new baby grows, more cell must be made. This happens by the process of cell division. Each new cell has its own set of chromosomes carrying exactly the same information as the original fertilized cell.
prophase produces mitosis and forms more cells to make even more cells!
The chromosomes of eukaryotic cells have more DNA than the chromosomes of prokaryotic cells. Prokaryotes usually only have 1 circular chromosome and no "junk DNA", while eukaryotes are multi-chromosomal.
There are more genes than chromosomes in skin cells.
Polyploidy occurs in cells and organisms when there are more than two paired sets of chromosomes.
If it had more chromosomes it will cause to down's syndrome

If a cell divides by mitosis both cells will have the diploid (2N) number of chromosomes. These two cells will have identical DNA If a cell divides by meiosis subsequent cells will have the haploid (1N) number of chromosomes. These cells will have the same basic amount of DNA but the DNA will not be identical. If the sex chromosomes are different sizes (like the X and Y chromosomes of humans) the DNA will vary a bit more dramatically if the meiosis includes the additional variation of the different sex chromosomes.
Sure Why Not ?(:
Biologists use dividing cells to determine the number of chromosomes in an organism because when cells go through mitosis (the process of dividing) the chromosomes become much more visible.
After meiosis 2 in human cells are 23 chromosomes. Meiotic division occur only in reproductive cells because when spermatozoid and ovum combine they form again 46 chromosomes(23 pairs of chromosomes).
It is called haploid.The term can be applied to a number, a nucleus, a cell, or even an entire organism, such as a male honey bee.Strictly speaking, the correct term for the number of chromosomes in one set is monoploid. "Haploid" refers to the number of chromosomes in a gamete.In many animals, including humans, the two numbers are the same. In many plants there have been one or more doubling events during the course of evolution, resulting in tetraploids and so on. In such plants "monoploid" applies to the number of chromosomes in the inferred original set.
