This is speaking in terms of MITOSIS.

A typical human cell has 46 chromosomes. Each offspring cell receives an

identical copy of the original cell's chromosomes. So the two daughter cells will have 46 chromosomes each as well.

What is the difference between the number of chromosomes between a parent cell and its daughter cells?

the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :) the daughter cells have half the chromosomes the parent cell does. so when the sex cell combines with the other there isn't double chromosomes. :)


How many chromosomes will be in a daughter cell after meiosis?

Meosis is called a reductional division. This means the daughter cells in a meotic cell division have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Parent cell (2n) ------> Meotic cell division ------> 2 daughter cells (n)


If the parental cell has 24 chromosomes how many does each daughter cell have at the completion of meiosis II?

The answer is that the daughter cell would have 8 chromosomes.Daughter cells always have half the number of chromosomes the parent cells have. But the normal number of chromosomes is parent have 46 chromosomes and daughter have 23 chromosomes.


How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in?

The two daughter cells that result from mitosis are diploid just like the parent cell. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis, 4 daughter cells result each with half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had and are therefore called haploid.


Difference in DNA between parent cell and daughter cell in meiosis?

Homologous chromosomes assort independently, so each gamete has a unique combination of alleles

How many chromosomes does the daughter cell get from the parent cell?

In mitotic cell division, the daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiotic cell division, the daughter cells contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


How many chromosomes are there in each daughter cell if there are 12 chromosomes in a parent cell?

There are exactly 6 , because the daughter cells always half of how many the parent cells have .


If you compare the parent cell to the daughter in mitosis what can be said about their chromosomes?

the daughter cells' chromosomes are a identical to the parent cell. they each have a complete set


Which chromosomes are found in a daughter cell?

Each daughter cell contains half of the chromosomes from the parent cell. Because the parent cell undergoes DNA replication before mitosis, the parent cell and the daughter cells will be diploid.

What cell division do daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as parent cell?

The daughter cells resulting in mitotic cell division are genetically identical to the mother cell. This means that they have the same amount of chromosomes, which are replicated in the mother cell prior to splitting.

How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?

The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA


What would be the number of chromosomes in tr daughter cells if the chromosomes in the original parent cell did not duplicate?

46 (2n : 46), is the number r of chromosomes in tr daughter cells if the chromosomes in the original parent cell did not duplicate


How is one parent cell in meiosis related to the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells?

This is my guess. The two daughter cells are formed they get the same number of chromosomes, as the parent cells.
