At the end of cytokinesis, how many daughter chromosomes will be found in each cell
trapecia [35]
At the end of cytokinesis there no longer exists chromatids, they are just individual chromosomes.

If you're talking about Meiosis, there are 4 (HAPLOID) daughter cells produced at the end of meiosis. So each daughter cell will have HALF the number of chromosomes as the mother cell.

Whereas at the end of Mitosis there are 2 identical DIPLOID sister cells.
