Mitosis Results In Two Diploid Cells. The cell undergoes mitosis to create two identical diploid cells. If the parent cell was haploid the nuclei of the daughter cells are also haploid.
If the parent cell was haploid the nuclei of the daughter cells are also haploid. Mitosis results in the production of two genetically identical diploid cells. In mitosis there is no change in the number of chromosomes the degree of ploidy remains the same.
The chromosomes do not pull apart in an orderly fashion during cell division and the result is two cells with unequal numbers of chromosomes.
If the initial cell was diploid the nuclei of the daughter cells are also diploid. Two identical diploid cells. The chromosomes do not pull apart in an orderly fashion during cell division and the result is two cells with unequal numbers of chromosomes. Using your notes on mitosis and meiosis you will explore how it can lead to genetic changes.
