Final answer:
In the early telophase of mitosis for a species with 14 chromosomes per somatic cell, there would be 0 sister chromatids present because sister chromatids have already separated into individual chromosomes.
Step-by-step explanation:
If we are dealing with a species in which the number of chromosomes in each somatic cell is 14, then at the beginning of mitosis, each of the 14 chromosomes would have replicated to consist of two sister chromatids. Since early telophase is after the stage of anaphase, where sister chromatids separate, by early telophase, there would be a total of 28 chromosomes present, each now consisting of a single chromatid. Therefore, there would be 0 sister chromatids present in the early telophase of mitosis because at this point, each sister chromatid has already separated and is considered a distinct chromosome.
