Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division that maintains the DNA content and the chromosome number of the parent cell in the daughter cells. DNA replication occurs before mitosis during the S phase and the newly formed DNA is equally distributed among the daughter nuclei. Therefore, a parent cell with 16 chromosomes in its nucleus undergoes mitosis, two daughter nuclei will be formed by the end of mitosis and each of them would have 16 chromosomes.
