Answer and Explanation:

The parental and daughter cells are equal. <em>If the cells are not in the process of cellular division</em>, and the onion plant begins as a with 16 chromosomes, then in each cell observed in the plant there will be 16 chromosomes. Only when these cells are going through the division process, either <em>mitosis (somatic cells) or meiosis (germ cells) the chromosome number will be altered. </em>
