Question

1. three cells that each has a diploid number of 32 go through mitosis. how many cells result and how many total chromosomes are in each cell?

Explanation:

Step1: Determine cells after mitosis

Each cell undergoing mitosis divides into 2 cells. For 3 cells, total cells = \(3\times2 = 6\).

Step2: Determine chromosomes per cell

Mitosis preserves the diploid number. Original diploid is 32, so each new cell has 32 chromosomes.

Answer:

6 cells result, and each cell has 32 chromosomes.
