Hey @Rushwr can you help me. i think the answer is D but im not sure

rushwr · Answer

It's a bit unclear right? Cuz chromosomes never replicate it is DNA that replicates. Anyways is this during mitosis or meiosis ?

rushwr · Answer

If it is during mitosis then it is B unless it is D

Hey @Shikamaru11 do you think you could help out?

anonymous · Answer

Mitosis creates a duplicate with the same number of chromosomes

rushwr · Answer

Eukaryotes includes plant cells too right?  so in plant cells unless if it is a seed bearing plant other plants in general go through mitosis. So mitosis results in 2 identical daughter nuclei from one mother nucleus. SO the answer would be 2
