The given diagram shows mitotic cell division in a potato cell. The number of DNA molecules in the nucleus of the parent and daughter cells is:
Correct answer: B. Option B
- A. Option A
- B. Option B
- C. Option C
- D. Option D
Explanation
Parent cell has 48 chromosomes and number of chromosomes don't change in mitosis. So daughter cell will also have 48 chromosomes. So option B is correct. All other options either give incorrect chromosome number in parent cell or daughter cell. So A, C and D are incorrect.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
