Question

Mitosis_______.

  1. Results in reduction of chromosome numbers.
  2. Results in doubling the number of chromosomes.
  3. Results in the same number of chromosomes.
  4. Results in no change in chromosome numbers.

hintHint:

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells which resembles the parent cell.

The correct answer is: Results in the same number of chromosomes.


    • Mitosis is the cell division that occurs in body or somatic cells
    • Following mitosis, the two daughter cells are identical to the parents cell
    • The number of chromosomes inherited by the daughter cells remain the same 
    • If the parent cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, after mitosis, each of  the two daughter cells will also have 23 pairs of chromosomes
    • Reduction in number of chromosomes by half occurs during meiosis, where gametes are formed
