Four cells that each have a diploid number of 20 go through mitosis. How many cells result? How many total chromosomes are in each cell?

How many cells result? 8, two cells from each cell

How many total chromosomes are in each cell? 20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a continuous process in which the daughter cells finish up with exactly the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. This is called the diploid condition where the nucleus of each cell contains of each type of chromosome. Since the cells had diploid number of chromosomes, the daughter cells will have 20 chromosomes as the parent cells.
