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.
Recognize that a human cell typically has 46 chromosomes, which are duplicated during the S phase of the cell cycle before mitosis begins.
During mitosis, these duplicated chromosomes are separated into two sets, ensuring each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes.
Each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell, which is 46 chromosomes.
Therefore, after mitosis, each of the two new cells formed will contain 46 chromosomes, maintaining the chromosome number of the parent cell.
