In mitosis, the important thing to remember is that the daughter cells each have the same chromosomes and DNA as the parent cell. The daughter cells from mitosis are called diploid cells. Diploid cells have two complete sets of chromosomes. Since the daughter cells have exact copies of their parent cell's DNA, no genetic diversity is created through mitosis in normal healthy cells.
MAIN IDEA: Body cells are diploid; gametes are haploid. 11. What happens to the nuclei of the egg and sperm during fertilization? 12. What type of cells are haploid? 13.
