You have a diploid cell containing 8 chromosomes (2n=8)?

In metaphase, the cell would have 8 chromosomes lined up in the middle, each made up of 2 sister chromatids. The microtubules are attached to the kinetochores and each sister chromatid is facing in the opposite direction of it's pair and towards one end of the cell.\n\nThe daughter cells would all have 8 chromosomes because it's mitosis, not meiosis.

half a chromosome, a chromatid.

Your mother donates 23 chromosomes and your father donates 23 giving you 46 chromosomes total. Mutations, such as Trisomy-21, do occur where people can have less or more which usually results in some form of genetic disease.

There is only one DNA replication, as the ending 4 cells all have only half the number of chromosomes (haploid number)

Chromosomes, either X or Y.

23.  Each chromosome will be paired with its homologous partner to form a tetrad in Prophase 1.  Since the human body has 46 chromosomes and since each will pair with its homologue there will be 23 tetrads present.

If the total number of cells you finish with at the end of what I assume is mitosis is 36, then you began with 18 cells, which I suppose is 50%. Is that at all what you are asking?

Men typically have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome in each diploid cell of their bodies. Women typically have two X chromosomes.

A human somatic cell is a "body cell" (not one involved in sexual reproduction). Therefore, there are 46 chromosomes in a somatic cell. This is also the diploid number. Since we have two sets of chromosomes (one comes from mom and one from dad), we say algebraically that the diploid number = 2n = 46 (in humans). Therefore a haploid set = n = 23 in humans (this would apply to sperm and eggs).

We normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, that is, 46 chromosomes in total. When they're seen inside of a cell nucleus, they just look like similar V , X and Y shaped little dark spots, but the specialists are able to order them and know which ones belong to each pair (i.e. are homologous). They've labeled the pairs from 1 to 23 (the 23rd pair is the XX or XY sex chromosomes). \nIn Down syndrome, there is an extra chromosome. If you just looked at an image of the nucleus, you'd just count 47 chromosomes. But it has been determined that the "extra" one is a duplicate of one of the members of pair 21. \nIn the case of other duplicate chromosomes, the effects are not Down syndrome. Most cases of chromosomal duplication are lethal.

During meiosis, sexually reproducing organisms choose one of the two versions of each chromosome they have (the two versions are supplied because each parent provides one copy of each chromosome) to be included in the haploid gametes. Because one copy of two possible choices has to be made for each of the 4 chromosomes (diploid number of 8 is referring to the fact there are 2 copies of each of 4 chromosomes meaning 8 total). \n\nTo figure out the number of possible combination you use a simple probability formula. \n\nThere are 2 choices for the first chromosome location x 2 possible choices for the second location x 2 possibilities for the third location x 2 possibilities for the final location\n\n2x2x2x2 = 16 possible combinations that can be made in any one gamete.\n\nOf course this is the absence of any crossing over event, which can produce an incalculable number of possible rearrangements.

26\n\nIn meiosis, the chromosome pairs are divided in half so the new cell has 1 of each.  This is because this is used to produce cells for reproduction.\n\nWhen 2 of these cells come together,they create 52 chromosomes again to create a new organism with half of each parents genetic material.

In every cell of the human body there are 46 chromosomes: 44 somatic coding chromosomes (body coding) and 2 sex chromosomes.\n\nEach chromosome is part of a pair.  Each one of the pair codes for the same thing, though not necessarily the identical way (for example, one of the set may code for blue eyes, one may code for brown eyes). \n\nThe idea of homologous pairs is important during meiosis, when the chromosomes replicate, and find their homologous pairing, forming a tetrad (a structure with 4 chromatids from the joining of 2 replicated homologous chromosomes).\n\nHope this helps.

After telophase II of meiosis, each of the four daughter cells has exactly half the number chromosomes that are present in the parental cell. Unless more is known about the genetical make of the parental cell one can’t make any statement about their genetic make up.

The other answers are good, but not completely correct.\n\nA diploid or haploid cell can go through mitosis to make an itendical copy of the original.\n\nOnly a diploid cell can go through meiosis.  One diploid cell creates FOUR haploid cells, unlike the first answer said.  Each of these four haploid cells has half the number of chromosomes as the original diploid cell.  In humans, this is what makes the gametes, sperm and egg.  When a sperm fertilizes an egg, the two cells combine and form a diploid cell with the diploid amount of chromosomes.

If we were talking about human cells, there are 23 chromosomes in each cell. In mitosis, there are four main steps with another peparation time. The four are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telephase (PMAT). The peparation time before mitosis is called Interphase (not a step of mitosis) where chromosomes duplicate themselves (23 x 2 = 46 chromosomes total). During these steps of mitosis, the cell divides into two. So if a cell with 46 chromosomes divide into two daughter cells, then each daughter cell will have 23 chromosomes in the end. The result of mitosis: more cells with the same number of chromosomes in each cell.\n\nA cell goes through a cell cycle. Use this link to see the cell cycle: http://www.biology.arizona.edu/Cell_bio/tutorials/cell_cycle/cells2.html\n\nrelatively, mitosis is a short process.

Chromosomal DNA is what determines who we are as individuals.  There are 23 pairs of choromosomes.  There are 22 pairs of autosomes which are alike in male and females and then thereis one pair of sex chromosomes.  XX is female.  XY is male.
