During mitosis, the original cell produces two daughter cells. How many daughter cells will be produced if 250 mouse cells undergo mitosis?

During mitosis, the organism (which would be an asexual producer) doubles the amount of chromosomes and they divides the doubled number by two. So the organism will always end up with two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as itself. (That is the way with asexual producer's-their offspring is always an exact replica of the first). Now, if you take one mouse, it would end up with 2 daughter cells. If 250 mice reproduce, each with two daughter cells, then there would be 500 daughter cells in total, because you would multiply 2 by 250.

The number of daughter cells that will be produced is; 500 daughter cells

Mitosis is a process of cell replacement or cell growth whereby a cell divides into two exact daughter cells containing the same number of chromosomes each as the number of chromosomes contained in the parent cell.

Given that the original cell produces two daughter cells, when 250 mouse cell undergoes this process we will have

250 * 2 = 500 daughter cells.

Hence we can conclude that the number of daughter cells that will be produced is 500 daughter cells
