A elephant cell has 20 chromosomes. how many chromosomes will the cell have just before mitosis begins in the elephant cell?
lora16 [44]

The elephant cell will have 20 chromosomes.

Cells undergo interphase before getting to the mitotic phase. At the S phase of the interphase, the amount of DNA in the cell is double by replication. However, the number of chromosomes remains intact.

Thus, the cell gets to the mitotic phase with the same number of chromosomes that is usually present in normal vegetative cells of the animal.

Plant cell walls are rigid membranes on the outermost part of the cell. The cell wall provides a structured shape for the cell, helping the cell retain its form and shape. The cell wall also controls the rate of replication, allowing plant cells to replicate at a much slower rate than animal cells.
