At the end of cytokinesis, each cell will have 46 daughter chromosomes. This is because each chromosome consists of a pair of identical chromatids attached by a centromere, and during cell division, the chromatids separate and become individual chromosomes. Therefore, each daughter cell will receive 23 chromosomes, each consisting of a single chromatid, resulting in a total of 46 daughter chromosomes.
