If an organism with 14 chromosomes in its normal body cells produced gametes through mitosis and not meiosis, how many chromosomes would be in a gamete?

Respuesta :

If an organism with 14 chromosomes in its normal body cells produced gametes through mitosis instead of meiosis, each gamete would still contain 14 chromosomes.

Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In this case, the parent cell would have 14 chromosomes, so each daughter cell produced by mitosis would also have 14 chromosomes.
