A cell with 6 chromosomes goes through cell division (mitosis). How many chromosomes will be in the daughter cells? *

Please Help Me!!!

the answer is 6 chromosomes with one chromatid each

Explanation:

This is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells with each cell having the same number and kind of chromosomes like the parent nucleus.

Before the cell division occurs, the original cell before division has 6 chromosomes which is can be indicated by ( /, /, /, /, /, /), each of the six chromosome with one chromatid before replication occurs in the S phase of interphase in Mitosis. After the S phase which allows for replication of each chromosomes resulting in six chromosomes with two sister chromatids each (X, X, X, X, X, X). During M phase, division occurs that separates the sister chromatids of each chromosomes by their centromere. after the M phase, each daughter cell will possess 6 chromosomes each with one chromatid just as in the parent.

Before replication         ( /, /, /, /, /, /)

After replication          (X, X, X, X, X, X)

After separation at centromere, two daughter cells will be formed with each  having:                            ( /, /, /, /, /, /)
