Does the ploidy of a cell change when it divides by mitosis Why or why not?

It does not change. Mitosis results in two identical cells with exactly the same number of chromoses. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells for the purpose of growth of tissues, unlike meiosis which occurs in sex cells prior to fertilisation.
while mitosis starts and ends as a 2n cell the part about it not changing is wrong. mitosis starts off as 2n then each chromatid replicates creating a 4n cell in prophase until it reaches telophase it goes back to 2n as the chromatids separate at the poles, and the daughter cells are formed.

∙ 14y agoYes. Meiosis reduces the ploidy of a cell. Meiosis is also known as reductive division because of the reduced ploidy upon division.

∙ 11y agono. before meiosis II (after completion of meiosis I) cells are haploid and after meiosis also they are haploid.

In a eukaryote cell the process in which the cell divides into two independent identical cells is called?
The process is known as mitosis. During mitosis, the nucleus of the eukaryotic cell divides the chromosomes evenly. After the mitosis, the cell undergoes cytokinesis, which divides the cell in two to create two independent identical (daughter) cells.
If a normal cell divides you can assume what?
if a normal cell divides you can assume that
What is taking place in a cell when it is not undergoing mitosis?
DNA replication is the process that occurs when mitosis is not in process. Mitosis divides chromosomes in the cell nucleus.
The process by which one cell divides to form two new cells is called?
Mitosis if the cell is a eukaryote, cytokinises if the cell is a prokaryote.
What is the difference between mitisis and cytokinesis?
The difference between mitosis and cytokinesis is that during mitosis the nucleus of the cell divides, and during cytokinesis the cytoplasm divides.
What had happen to the ploidy at the end of the process of mitosis?
At the end of mitosis two daughter cells are produced identical to the parent cell. If the parent cell is haploid the daughter cell will be haploid. If the parent cell is diploid the daughter cell is also diploid.
What type of process is when one cell divides into two cells?
Mitosis is when one cell divides into two.
What processes divide the cell nucleus and its contents?
Mitosis is the process that divides the cell nucleus and it's contents.
What is another example of cell division besides meiosis ploidy mitosis and endomitosis?
amitosis
When cell divides it form two ---------cell?
Mitosis
In After a cell nucleus divides in mitosis what process occurs in which the rest of the cell divides?
cytokinesis

Which is a process in which one cell divides into?
mitosis
Can you use mitosis in a sentence?
Mitosis is the process in which the material from the cell nucleus divides.
What is the process by which a cell divides into 2 daughter cells called?
mitosis
Cell nucleus divides in Mitosis what process occurs in which the rest of the cell divides?
Cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.
