Q

If a cell has 30 chromosomes before mitosis, how many does each daughter cell have afterward?

A

30, because of mitosis. The purpose of mitosis is to turn a single parent cell into 2 genetically identical daughter cells. Therefore, if the parent cell has 30, then each daughter cell will also have 30 after mitosis
