Question

How many chromosomes are left after replication?

Answer 1

Number of chromosomes after replication:

1. After replication, two chromatids from each parent cell join together and form a single chromosome in the daughter cell.
2. There are a total number of 92 sister chromatids present in each cell.
3. In this way, chromosome pairs are made.
4. Each cell possesses 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes.
5. At the time of somatic cell division, DNA replication occurs at the S phase, thereby doubling the amount of DNA.
6. In the case of each prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell, the number of chromosomes remains the same but the amount of DNA doubles per cell.
