A tetrad is the pairing of homologous chromosomes. A human offspring inherits 23 chromosomes (N) from each parent upon fertilization, giving the offspring 46 chromosomes (2N). In meiosis, homologous chromosomes (N from mom and N from dad) come together and form a tetrad, which consists of 2 homologous chromosomes. Since you inherit a chromosome from both parents (2N) that pair up to form a tetrad, you will have 23 tetrads that have a chromosome from mom and dad paired together.
1 N from mom + 1 N from dad = homologous pair = 1 tetrad
2N/2 = N tetrad --humans--> 2(23 chromosomes)/2 = 23 tetrads
Diploid#/2 = # tetrad
Mitosis is a kind of cell division, where a parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells. Two cells are created during mitosis, but the original cell no longer exists so the total number will go up by one (or, if you're looking at multiple cells, the total number will double). The new cells have the same number of chromosomes as the original cell before it divided.
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
we have 46 chromosomes in Mitosis during interphase when the DNA doubles, but really Humans have 23 chromosomes. Meiosis is reproduction and goes through Mitosis twice but skips interphase the second time and creates gametes(sex cells) -Marina20
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.
Cells replicate themselves and eventually part during mitosis. Humans reproduce when the female egg cells is fertilized by the male sex cell.
46 in humans
they have one

double what the person already had if mitosis is when cells divide into two cells
Mitosis in humans results in the formation of two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This process is essential for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction in organisms.
Yes, mitosis occurs in humans. It is a process of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Humans use both- mitosis to grow, meiosis to form sex cells for reproduction.
These answers are, well, misguided. The number of chromosomes visible at the beginning of mitosis is whatever the full complement of chromosomes is for that organism. In humans, it would be 46. As mitosis proceeds, these are replicated to 92, but at the very beginning of mitosis you would still have the diploid number.

A pair of diploid Cells - each Cell has a full number of chromosomes like most body Cells. For example, humans have 46 chromosomes in almost every body Cell. After mitosis, the daughter Cells will also have 46 chromosomes. Two Daughter Cells.
Nearly all eukaryotic cells go through mitosis to divide. Being more specific: in humans, somatic (body) cells go through mitosis.
somatic cells are generally in humans
