Answers:

46 chromosomes will be found in such division.

Explanation:

Mitosis is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divided into two daughter cells and each daughter cells carries the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells and the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cells. This type of cell division occur in protists, fungi and plants.

If the parent have 46 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 46 chromosomes.

Each haploid cell will have 46 chromosomes.
