A. Mitosis always results in 2 identical daughter cells containing 2n chromosomes. 2n chromosomes is considered diploid. The next step in your question is the splitting of the cell into the two identical daughter cells.

Answer:

A. the cells will have 2n chromosomes and be diploid.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. If mother cell is diploid (2n) the daughter cells will be identical having the same diploid (2n) chromosomes. It begins with the division of the nucleus (karyokinesis) followed by division of cytoplasm (cytokinesis). It is an equational division, occurs when organisms require to produce a large number of identical cells.
