Domestic cats have 38 chromosomes in each of their somatic cells. after mitosis how many chromosomes will each new daughter cell have?

a) 76

b) 38

c) 19

d) 15

The correct answer is- B) 38.

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell produces two identical daughter cells having same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

It includes five successive stages that are- Prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.

Mitosis plays a significant role in the life cycle of most of the life forms (such as it is an asexual mode of reproduction in bacteria, helps in growth and repair of damaged tissue).

In the given question, somatic cells of domestic cats have 38 chromosomes.

Thus, after mitosis, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosome as of parent cell that is 38.

Therefore, option B) is the right answer.

endocrine glands secrete hormones into the blood stream near them; the hormones then travel in our bloodstream until it reaches its destination, called a target cell, in distance parts of the body. in the target tissue, hormones lock onto the target’s plasma membrane, called the receptor site.
