A cell has 32 chromosomes. It undergoes mitotic division. What will be the chromosme number `(n)` during metaphase ? What would be the DNA content (C) during anaphase ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The mitotic cell divison occurs in somatic cells of an organism. The chromosome number in the daughter cells remain same as that of the parent (dividing) cell, so even at metaphase or anaphase, the chromosome number does not change.
The DNA content gets double at the synthetic phase of interphase and gets divided at anaphase but the chromosome number remains same.
