Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer will be option C (each daughter cells will have n=34).

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process of cell division in which parent cell splits into two identical daughter cells with same number of chromosomes that is genetic material is equally distributed in the formed daughter cells.

Mitosis is equational division as ploidy number does not change and remains same in newly formed daughter cell :  

                                        2n

                                          ↓

                             (2n)  ←    → (2n)

hence, if sunflower has 2n=34

                                            ↓

                         (2n=34) ←       →  (2n=34)

Thus, option C is the correct answer.
