How many chromosomes would be found in each daughter cells?
How many chromosomes would be found in each daughter cells?After mitosis, the same number as were in the starting parent cell.After meiosis, half the number as were in the starting parent cell.Humans have 46 chromosomes, and the starting parent cell - whether we are talking about mitosis or meiosis - has 46 chromosomes.After mitosis, each of the 2 daughter cells will also have 46 chromosomes.After (both rounds of) meiosis, each of the 4 daughter cells will have 23 chromosomes.
If a somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will you find in the daughter cells, after mitosis?
If a somatic cell has 46 chromosomes, how many chromosomes will you find in the daughter cells, after mitosis? A. 46
How many chromosomes in somatic/sex cells?
Every person has 46 chromosomes. Each is a pair of chromosomes, one of the pair inherited from the mother and one from the father. The sex chromosomes (XX in females, XY in males) are inherited along with them too. Every body cell has the same number of chromosomes, because each undergoes mitosis. In mitosis, the "parent cell" splits the chromosomes (each of which is composed of 2 chromatids, which carry the same information) and the cytoplasm, so the daughter cells get 45 chromatids and half the cytoplasm. Then, during interphase, the chromatids replicate so again, each cell has 46 chromosomes again. Therefore, because every cell in a body came from the singe fertilized egg, they all have all the same chromosomes, even if they don't "need" them (like the liver cells with the X or Y chromosomes). Autosomes are considered to be the chromosomes that relate to the body - essentially, the blueprint. The sex chromosomes determine the sex (and carry some additional information as well. When the body makes eggs or sperm, the cells undergo meiosis, or reduction division. In this process, the homologous chromosomes line up and are segregated into different cells (not called "daughter" because they are not identical). In other words, each cell will have half the normal genetic complement. Therefore, the gametes have the "n" number of chromosomes, and are called haploid. That is why, when fertilization occurs, the single cell has the normal genetic complement of chromosomes, one set from the egg and one from the sperm.
If a cell with 24 chromosomes undergoes meiosis, how many cells will be formed after the process? How many chromosomes will each cell have?
We can divide the whole meiosis into 3 stages where we find the cell with difference in their chromosome or DNA number.1)- in s phase where replication takes place and DNA becomes double but during meiosis 1 becoz replication do not occur in the interphase of meiosis 2.2)- after meiosis 1 when chromosome become half but DNA remain the same and that is why we called meiosis 1 as reductional division.3)- after meiosis 2 when chromosome remain half and DNA also become half and that is why we called it equational division.So, after meiosis 1 two daughter cells forms with 12 chromosome and after meiosis 2, 4 daughter cells will be formed with 12 chromosome.
After mitosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter (2N) have if the parent cell (2N) had 46 chromosomes?
Mitosis produces two daughter cells each of which has the same chromosome number as the parent cell. => After mitosis, each daughter cell will have 2n = 46 chromosomes. Meiosis produces four daughter cells each of which has half number of chromosome of parent cell. => After meiosis, each daughter cell will have n = 23 chromosomes.
Why are daughter cells diploid and somatic cells?
Somatic cells undergo mitosis to produce 2 daughter cells with the SAME number of chromosomes (diploid) - daughters cells have to be IDENTICAL to the cell that it copied Sex cells undergo meiosis to produce 4 daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes (haploid) - daughter cells contain a haploid number because when the meet up with the other gamete during fertilization, the zygote produced has to have the diploid number
How many chromosomes will each cell receive after mitosis if human cell have 48 chromosomes after meiosis?
Meiosis is cell division that results in a cell with 1/2 the DNA of a normal cell. This cell would be an egg or sperm cell.Mitosis is normal cell division. The cell will create a copy of it’s DNA, resulting in 92 chromosomes temporarily in one cell, which will then split, creating two cells with 46 (23 pairs) chromosomes in them. If the cell then undergoes meiosis, it will be left with 23 chromosomes, unpaired.If you are asking about a theoretical organism with x number of chromosomes, which will become 48 after meiosis, you can work backwards to find x. After meiosis, the chromosomes number is .5 normal. So 48 x 2=96. There will be 96 (48 pairs) chromosomes in the nucleus. During mitosis there will temporarily be 192 chromosomes (96 pairs) until the cell splits in half during cytokinesis, ending mitosis with 96 chromosomes which is 48 pairs. This organism is likely a plant and is certainly not human.
