Twice the number in the cell. So if the cell normally has 46 chromosomes, such as in somatic human cells, the dividing cell would have 92 chromosomes just before division. With germ cells such as sperm and egg this would be half that. Sperm and egg cells in humans would contain 23 chromosomes and 46 just before division.
With N representing the number of chromosomes in an organism:
Mitosis (somatic cells) 2N -> 4N division -> 2N

How many chromosomes will the new skin cells have?
Skin cells divide via mitosis - therefore the new cells will have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. Therefore in humans, the new skin cells will have 46 chromosomes.
The cow has 60 chromosomes in its body cells. When the cow's body cells divide by mitosis how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
Each daughter cell produced by mitosis will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Therefore, each daughter cell will also have 60 chromosomes.
How many chromosomes does the average person have in their cells?
The average person has 46 chromosomes in their cells.
How many chromosomes can be found in a Leksak bird's cells?
how many chromosomes can be found in each of the leksak birds cells
How many chromosomes do human somatic cells have?
Human somatic cells typically have 46 chromosomes.
Why do cells need to copy their chromosomes before they divide into two daughter cells?
They copy their chromosomes so that when they do divide into two different cells each one will have its own set of chromosomes and it couldn't be copied and transferred after divison occured

For what reasons might a cell use meiosis?
All human cells have 46 chromosomes, 23 pairs. In sexual reproduction, if an egg and a sperm each with 46 chromosomes joined then the zygote would have 92 chromosomes. To keep this from happening, cells undergo meiosis. In meiosis the cells replicate the chromosomes and divide then divide again so they end up with only 23 chromosomes. Cells with half the number of chromosomes are called gametes.
How many Chromosomes are in mosquito cells?
Somatic mosquito cells have 6 chromosomes
When your cell undergo mitosis how many chromosomes do the new daughter cells have?
46.In humans, the only cells that divide by mitosis are ones with two sets of chromosomes, called diploid cells. They have 46 chromosomes, and the daughter-cells have 46 as well, because mitosis preserves the chromosome number.
How do you plant cells divide DNA if they don't have chromosomes?
Plants are higher level eukaryotic organisms and therefore contain chromosomes.
How many chromosomes do you have in your gamete cells?
23 chromosomes
How many chromosomes does a chicken have in somatic cells?
A chicken has 78 chromosomes in its somatic cells.
How many chromosomes are in a jellyfish's cells?
Jellyfish typically have 36 chromosomes in their cells.
How many chromosomes does the average person have in their cells?
The average person has 46 chromosomes in their cells.
The period when cells devide to create cells is called?
It is mitosis - when the chromosomes within the cell divide and split forming two cells.
