A) 16
B) 8
C) 4
D) 2
(Pick an answer and explain why you chose it please!)

Respuesta :

Answer: 8

Explanation: Mitosis is a process in which a single cell doubles itself or divide into 2 daughter cell.

Mitosis helps in cell multiplication and in replacement of worn out tissues. Mitosis is made of Interphase,Prophase,Metaphase,Anaphase,Telophase.

The division of the cell takes place at the telophase through a process called cytokinesis where the cytoplasm divides into two (two daughter cell) each contain equal number of chromosome . Genetic information is passed from parents to offspring through this division.

Since n=8 haploid number of chromosome. Each daughter cells will have 8 chromosome just as the parent.
