Answer:

The response is 32 sister chromatids

Step-by-step explanation:

During interphase, DNA replicates to produce two copies (i.e., 16 chromosomes) that are further distributed among the two daughter cells. Moreover, each chromosome has 2 sister chromatids attached by the centromeres. In consequence: 16 x 2 = 32
