Question

What change occurs to the number of chromosomes in mitosis?

  1. Number of chromosomes is doubled
  2. Number of chromosomes is decreased to half.
  3. Number of chromosomes remain unaffected.
  4. No split of chromosomes.

hintHint:

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells which resembles the parent cell.

The correct answer is: Number of chromosomes remain unaffected.


    • Mitosis is the cell division that occurs in somatic cells
    • Following mitosis, the two daughter cells produced are identical to the parent cell
    • The number of chromosomes inherited by the daughter cells remain the same 
    • If the parent cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, after mitosis, each of  the two daughter cells will also have 23 pairs of chromosomes
    • Reduction in number of chromosomes by half occurs during meiosis, where gametes are formed
