Answer:

46 chromosomes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In mitosis, two daughter cells separate from the parent cell, which has 46 chromosomes. In the prophase, the parent cell duplicates its own chromosomes to create two identical cells.

Each daughter cell should have the same number of chromosomes as the parent.
