The number of protons in an atom determines the element (C). These protons reside in the nucleus of the atom. These elements are listed on the periodic table. Each element on the periodic table has a different atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the three main particles that make up an atom. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral i.e. they have no charge. In order to find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom, you can look up this information on the periodic table.

If there are 10 chromosomes in a particular cell at the start of prophase how many will be present in the same cell at the end o
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

20 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is a kind of cell division that results in daughter cells with same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It involves stages including Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. In prophase, the Chromatin condenses into Chromosomes.

In Anaphase stage, the 10 chromosomes as mentioned in the question divides into opposite poles of the cell. One individual chromosome contains two sister chromatids, which actually separates in the Anaphase stage. Hence, at the end of the Anaphase stage, there will be 10 chromatids each at opposite poles of the cell. Each chromatid at this stage is considered a chromosome.

Hence, a cell with 10 chromosomes will contain 20 chromosomes (10+10 chromatids on each pole) in the Anaphase stage just before the cell divides into two in a process called CYTOKINESIS.
