When you say 24 chromosomes BEGINS mitosis, do you mean after interphase(after DNA is replicated)? If you do mean that, then each daughter cell would have 12 chromosomes, because during interphase, DNA is replicated, and the parent cell splits into two daughter cells, which each of them has 12 chromosomes.

Why is the s phase so important?

With twice the amount of chromosomes in the parent cell, each daughter cell can have a normal number of chromosomes after the cell splits in mitosis.


How does mitosis differ from meiosis in terms of chromosome segregation?

In mitosis, chromosomes are duplicated and then segregated into two identical daughter cells, resulting in cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis, chromosomes are duplicated but then segregated twice, resulting in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How is the chromosome number maintained during cell division, specifically in the processes of mitosis or meiosis?

During cell division, the chromosome number is maintained through the processes of mitosis and meiosis by ensuring that each daughter cell receives the correct number of chromosomes. In mitosis, the replicated chromosomes are separated equally into two daughter cells, while in meiosis, the chromosomes are divided twice to produce four daughter cells with half the original number of chromosomes. This ensures that the chromosome number is maintained in the offspring cells.


How does meiosis 1 differ from mitosis in terms of the process of cell division?

In meiosis 1, the cell divides twice to produce four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes, while in mitosis, the cell divides once to produce two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


Is meiosis mitosis happening twice?

No, meiosis involves two rounds of cell division but differs from mitosis in several key ways. Meiosis results in the formation of gametes with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What will happen to an unfertilized egg that undergoes mitosis but not cytokinesis?

Mitosis will separate the sister-chromatids of each chromosome, and each will now be called a chromosome (or daughter-chromosome).Without cytokinesis, the mother-cell will not split into two daughter-cells. The result will be a cell with twice as many chromosomes as the mother-cell.Since an unfertilized egg (ovum) is a gamete, it must be haploid. Doubling the number of chromosomes will produce a diploid cell.


How many cells are formed at the end of mitosis?

Mitosis is the cell cycle phase wherein the cell nucleus chromosomes are separated. After mitosis, two identical cells will be created.


What is a characteristic of mitosis and not of meiosis?

The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.


Does cell division occur twice in mitosis or meiosis?

Cell division occurs once in mitosis, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells. In contrast, cell division occurs twice in meiosis, resulting in four genetically different daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How many chromosomes are in a human cell that has resulted from mitosis?

There are the same amount of chromosomes as when you started when cells divide via mitosis because you are forming 2 diploid cells i.e. 46 chromosome's. However in Meiosis you form 4 haploid cells because the process of Mitosis happens twice.


If a cat has 38 chromosomes in each of its body cells how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell after mitosis?

38, as the chromosomes would be duplicated to 76 during the S phase of interphase, then would be divided into two cells during mitosis.
