The duck-billed platypus has 52 chromosomes in its body cells. when the platypus's body cells divide by mitosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

52

Explanation:

Mitosis can be defined as an inevitable part of the cell cycle when the replicated chromosomes are divided into nuclei.

After cell division, genetically identical cells are produced in which the number of chromosomes are restored.

There is no change in the number of chromosomes after this process and the 52 chromosomes will remain the same.

Any change during this process can lead to apoptosis or mutation.

then that particular organisms become extinct.
