(20 points) a sunflower has 34 chromosomes (2n=34). which of the following diagrams illustrates the correct number of chromosomes in new cells produced by mitosis?

Correct answer looks like to me would be A. Because, if a sunflower has 34 chromosomes, when you split it up into x and y chromosomes, there will be 17 x chromosomes and 17 y chromosomes. Hope this helps!

The correct answer will be option C (each daughter cells will have n=34).

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process of cell division in which parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells with same number of chromosomes that is genetic material is equally distributed in the formed daughter cells.

Mitosis is equational division as ploidy number does not change and remains same in newly formed daughter cell :  

                                        2n

                                          ↓

                             (2n)  ←    → (2n)

hence, if sunflower has 2n=34

                                            ↓

                         (2n=34) ←       →  (2n=34)

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
