Answer:

If an organism has a total diploid number of 60 chromosomes, same number of chromosomes i. e. 60 are present in each daughter cell after mitosis while half number of chromosome i. e. 30 are present in each daughter cell after meiosis.

Explanation: Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell is divided into two daughter cells having double number of chromosomes, while meiosis is a type of cell division in which a single cell is divided into four daughter cells having half number of chromosome.
