Question

3. You begin with one cell that contains twelve chromosomes. This cell undergoes one mitotic division (you need to know the end result of mitosis to get this answer right). a. How many cells will you end up with after the cell divides? (1 point) b. How many chromosomes will be in each of the cells when the division is complete? (1 point)

Answer 1

Part 1.

After one mitotic division, end result will be two cells.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because mitosis is a cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.

Part 2:

There will be 12 chromosomes in each daughter cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because number of chromosome remain same (diploid) in mitosis.
