Body cells are the only cells that go through the process of mitosis. So body cells have 46 chromosomes or 23 chromosome pairs. Before the cells separate the chromosomes duplicate and split so that the new cell has an identical DexyriboNucleicAcid.

Meiossis is cell division in which the number of chromosomes?

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.
