Question

After mitotic cell division, a female human cell will have

• A. $44+xx$ chromosome
• B. $44+xy$ chromosome
• C. $22+x$ chromosome
• D. $22+y$ chromosome

Answer 1

The correct option is A $44+xx$ chromosome

Human females have forty-six chromosomes arranged in twenty-three homologous, homomorphic pairs. There are 22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes (44 + XX). Mitosis is an equatorial division that produces daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as that of a parent cell. So, mitosis in a human female cell would produce progeny cells with 44 + XX chromosomes.
Hence, the correct answer is A.
