An organism has 72 chromosomes in one of its body cells, after mitosis occurs, how many chromosomes will be in each daughter cell?

Answer 1

After mitosis occurs, each daughter cell will have 72 chromosomes. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell in terms of chromosome number and genetic content. So, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which in this case is 72 chromosomes.
