Assuming Practical Activity 2(A) refers to mitosis, which is the process of cell division for growth and repair in somatic cells: In mitosis, the parent cell divides to produce two daughter cells. The chromosomal number of the daughter cells is identical to that of the parent cell. If the parent cell is diploid ($2n$), each daughter cell will also be diploid ($2n$). This ensures that genetic information is faithfully passed on to new cells. Last free one today — make it count tomorrow, or type /upgrade for unlimited.
