Question

A frog cell normally has 26 chromosomes. How many chromosomes will each daughter cell have after mitosis?

13


26


46


52

Answer 1

26

Step-by-step explanation:

In mitosis the daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is usually the diploid number. mitosis occurs for all other body cells. in this case the parent has 26 so the 2 daughter cells also have 26 chromosomes each.

in meiosis the daughter cells will have the haploid number or half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell. that means since the parent has 26 chromosomes, the 4 daughter cells will have 13 chromosomes each. meiosis occurs only for sex cells/gametes

Answer 2

26 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is basically cell division. Each of the resulting daughter cells would have the same number of chromosomes at the end as the original one.
