Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the original parent cell.
Identify the chromosome number in the parent cell, which is given as 82 chromosomes for the great white shark.
Understand that during mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and then evenly divided so that each daughter cell receives an identical set.
Therefore, the number of chromosomes in each daughter cell after mitosis remains the same as the parent cell, which is 82.
Conclude that the correct answer is that each daughter cell will contain 82 chromosomes after mitosis.
