How many chromosomes are present in each cell of the human body? What will be number of chromosomes in the daughter cells during the healing process?

Show SolutionHide Solution↓

Each cell of the human body contains 46 chromosomes, that is 23 pairs.
The wound heals by mitosis, in which the daughter cells receive the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. So each daughter cell will also contain 46 chromosomes.
