How many chromosomes are present in a cell during interphase?

Answer 1

A total of 46 chromosomes

You have 23 pairs of chromosomes, or a total of 46 chromosomes, after the process of cytokinesis 2 (the physical process of cell division), which results in four daughter cells, each of which has one chromatid (one copy of newly copied chromosome).

During interphase, a cell typically has a diploid number of chromosomes, which is the normal number of chromosomes for that species. In humans, this is 46 chromosomes.

Isabella Anderson

During interphase, a cell typically contains twice the number of chromosomes found in its final, divided state. This means that in interphase, a human cell, for example, will contain 46 chromosomes, as it prepares for cell division.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
