During the anaphase of mitosis, how many chromosomes will be found in each daughter cell?
A
The same number as the parent cell
B
Double the number of the parent cell
C
Half the number of the parent cell
D
None, as chromosomes are not present
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall that during anaphase of mitosis, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite poles of the cell.
Recognize that each chromatid is now considered an individual chromosome.
Note that by the end of anaphase, each pole of the cell has a complete set of chromosomes identical to the parent cell.
Conclude that after mitosis is complete, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
