Answer 1

The cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis ensures that the chromosomal constitution and hence the genetic constitution of the offspring is the same as the parents. After mitosis, diploid daughter cells are formed where the nucleus of each cell contains a pair of each type of chromosome ;2n. Mitosis is a continous process of the somatic cells.
