Question

A single human skin cell after undergoing a single mitotic division would produce

• A. Two cells with 46 chromosomes
• B. Two cells with 23 chromosomes
• C. Four cells with 46 chromosomes
• D. Four cells with 23 chromosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Two cells with 46 chromosomes

Mitosis is a cell division in which one cell divides to produce two cells; also, somatic cells (any other cells except the sperms and eggs) have 46 chromosomes, and after mitosis, this number of chromosomes is maintained.
