Question: how many dna molecules are present in each of the daughter cells produced as a result of mitosis?
Answer: During MITOSIS, the parent, diploid (2n), cell is divided to create two identical, diploid (2n), daughter cells. This occurs by undergoing DNA replication (in S phase during interphase) where the monovalent chromosome is duplicated so that it will have two DNA strands that are replicas of each other.
