When new cells are formed through the process of mitosis, the number of chromosomes in the new cells

A.

remains the same as in the parent cell.

B.

is half of that of the parent cell.

C.

increases every time the cell divides.

D.

decreases every time the cell divides.

A - remains the same as in the parent cell. That is what one of my past teachers said. Cells always have the same amount because the two parent cells give half meaning they get half f each. For example; parents have 48 cells. each will give 24 so that the one new cell has 48 total cells.
