Answer:

8 chromosomes

Explanation:

Mitosis is the process whereby a cell divides into two identical copies of itself. This genetical identity emanates from the fact that the daughter cells possess the same kind and number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Hence, a nucleus that has eight (8) chromosomes during interphase will possess 8 chromosome in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis. Mitosis, which consists of stages, duplicate its DNA at the interphase stage but do not increase the chromosome number. Sister chromatids are formed for each chromosome, which separate during anaphase stage, and become individual chromosome in each daughter cell.

In this case, 8 chromosome are still formed at interphase but 16 sister chromatids. These chromatids separate equally into each daughter cell i.e 8 in each cell to become individual chromosomes.

Non-random mating is assortative mating. It is a pattern and form of sexual selection in which individuals with similar phenotypes mate with one another more frequently than would be expected under a random mating pattern. non-random mating can act as an ancillary process for natural selection to cause evolution to occur. It’s also bad for evolution because any departure from random mating upsets the equilibrium distribution of genotypes in a population. Recombination is a process by which pieces of DNA are broken and recombined to produce new combinations of alleles. recombination is important to somatic cells in eukaryotes because it can be used to help repair broken DNA. recombination by itself does not cause evolution to occur. Rather, it is a contributing mechanism that works with natural selection by creating combinations of genes that nature selects for or against. Non-random mating affects the evolution more than recombination
