At the end of meiosis II and cytokinesis, haploid cells contain chromosomes that each consist of two sister chromatids. This is because during meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, and during meiosis II, sister chromatids separate.
Meiosis.....................produces gametes or sexual cells, which contain half the chromosomesbecause the sexual union of male and female will contribute the otherhalf.
The number of chromosomes from one generation to the next is maintained by splitting a binuciate cell in to two daughter cells. Therefore, a cell in this process would contain double the number of orriginal.
34 Mitosis followed by cytokinesis produces genetically identical daughter cells.
When its good and ready. A cell has to pass through the 3 phases of interphase; G1, S and G2. Then it has to pass through the 4 phases of mitosis; prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. Then it has to undergo cytokinesis. Then the cell has divided.

Human cells NEVER normally contain 92 chromosomes. A diploid human cell prior to replicating its DNA has 23 pairs of non-replicated chromosomes (46 total). A diploid human cell after replicating its DNA has 23 pairs of replicated chromosomes (46 total). The difference is that each replicated chromosome consists of two DNA molecules called 'sister chromatids'. Non-replicated chromosomes consist of only one DNA molecule (it is not called a chromatid because chromatids are like twins--if you only have one you don't say there is one twin. Thus, you can say that a human cell following DNA replication has 92 chromatids, but never 92 chromosomes. ---------------edit-------------- Actually, there is a certain period in Mitosis of the cell cycle where you will temporarily have 92 chromosomes - during Anaphase and Telophase ( Mitosis consists of 4 phases occurring in the following order: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase). As explained above, 46 sister chromatids are produced after DNA replication (which occurs in synthesis phase of the cell cycle). During Anaphase, the 46 sister chromatids separate, resulting in 92 chromosomes, or 2 sets of 46 chromosomes. Each set then travels to opposite ends of the cell. Next, during Telophase, the cell then elongates and the nuclear envelope forms around each set to form two nuclei. Then next in Cytokinesis, the cell actually slits into two cells, each with one nucleus holding 46 chromosomes.
The nucleus is the part of the cell that contains chromosomes. Chromosomes are made of DNA and contain the genetic information necessary for cell function and replication.
The number of chromosomes from one generation to the next is maintained by splitting a binuciate cell in to two daughter cells. Therefore, a cell in this process would contain double the number of orriginal.

telophase of mitosis contain 1 new diploid cell at the end while telophase of meiosis contain 4 new haploid cells at the period of division.

You must first understand that the cells of different organisms contain different amounts of chromosomes. Humans contain 46. However, during interphase, a cell grows, prepares for mitosis, and doubles its chromosomes. That means 92 chromosomes are present at the end of mitosis. They are still attached (there are 46 pairs of chromosomes that do not split until anaphase).
In mitosis: The amount of DNA present at the start of prophase would be 20, and at the end of telophase the amount of DNA present would be 10 as the cell has divided. Reference: Biology Student
No. DNA doesn't contain chromosomes. Chromosomes are DNA.
Each daughter cell will contain the same number of chromatids as the original cell at the start of mitosis. This means that each daughter cell will have half the number of chromatids compared to the original parent cell at the beginning of cytokinesis.
