Question

9. How do the chromosomes of a daughter cell compare to the chromosomes of a mother cell?

The daughter cells have n chromosomes. The mother cell has 2n.
The daughter cells have the same type of chromosomes, but a different number
The daughter cells are identical to the mother cell.
The daughter cells have twice as many chromosomes as the mother cell.

Answer 1

The daughter cells are identical to the mother cell.

The daughter cells have twice as many chromosomes as the mother cell.

Step-by-step explanation:

Daughter cells are identical means same shape and structure to the parent cells because the parent cell is divided equally and as a result daughter cells are produced. In mitosis cell division, two daughter cells are produced having double number of chromosomes just like parent cell, whereas in meiosis cell division, four daughter cells are produced having half number of chromosomes.
