How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
*sorry if it's confusing!*
52 chromosomes in each somatic cell. In the sex cells, there would be 26, because they contain one copy of each chromosome (haploid) while the somatic cells have two (diploid). Mitosis is the division of somatic cells, which results in two identical daughter cells each with 2 copies of each chromosome.
