After mitosis two identical cells are created with the same original number of chromosomes, 46. Haploid cells that are generated through meiosis, such as egg and sperm, only have 23 chromosomes, because, remember, meiosis is a reduction division..e have mentioned two types of nuclear division: mitosis, where the nucleus divides into two identical nuclei, and meiosis, which results in the production of four nuclei with half the original number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

Monkeys are haplorhine (dry-nosed) primates, a paraphyletic group generally possessing tails and consisting of approximately 260 known living species. Many monkey species are tree-dwelling (arboreal), although there are species that live primarily on the ground, such as baboons.Most species are also active during the day (diurnal). Monkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, particularly Old World monkeys.Lemurs, lorises, and galagos are not monkeys; instead they are strepsirrhine (wet-nosed) primates. Like monkeys, tarsiers are haplorhine primates; however, they are also not monkeys.onkeys are generally considered to be intelligent, particularly Old World monkeys.
