8. Are the chromosomes the daughter cells produced by mitosis the same as or different from

the chromosomes in the original cell? Explain.

The chromosomes the daughter cells produce through mitosis are the same. In mitosis, a cell duplicates the number of chromosomes in its nucleus to produce two identical daughter cells. So the original cell with 23 pairs (46 total), both daughter cells will have 23 pairs (46 total) each.
