Before mitosis begins, the cell replicates its chromosomes (so the chromosome number doubles). Then during/after mitosis the cell splits in half - so each daughter cell produced by mitosis has the same chromosome number as the original cell.

When does the number of chromosomes in a cell halve?

In cell division and reproduction.


If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?

if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.


How is the chromosomes number halved during cell division: through mitosis or meiosis?

The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.


What does meiosis cause the chromosomes to do during cell division?

Meiosis causes the chromosomes to separate and reduce their number in half during cell division.


Determine how many chromosomes are in the original cell compared to those in the new cell formed by cell division Explain?

The original cell and the new cell formed by cell division have the same number of chromosomes. In most cases, cell division, whether through mitosis or meiosis, results in daughter cells with an identical set of chromosomes to the parent cell, maintaining the chromosome number of the species.


How many chromosomes does the daughter cell get from the parent cell?

In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What is processed by which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half?

Cell Division.


What is the number of chromosomes per daughter cell through mitosis?

After mitotic cell division, each daughter cell contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is the chromosome number affected by cell division?

During cell division, the chromosome number remains constant. In mitosis, each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes to the parent cell. In meiosis, the chromosome number is halved to produce gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How does meiosis differ from mitosis in terms of the process of cell division?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces sex cells with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is meiosis different from mitosis in terms of cell division processes?

Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis is a cell division process that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


Why do karyotypes always show chromosomes at the point when cell division is about to occur?

They show chromosomes at the point when cell division is about to occur because the chromosomes are condensed and aligned which makes it easy to tell if there are the correct number and configurations of the chromosomes.
