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.

If you have both parents with long ears and some of the offsprings have short ears, you can say both parents are heterozygous for this. Both have a dominant (long ear), and a recessive allele (short ear).
To prove this, you can draw a Punnett square, and you'll see the probabilities of the offsprings.
Answer:
Following are the two types of living things that biologists could study:
1) Animals
2) Plants
Explanation:
As we know plants and animals are the most important organisms. Animals has further categories of living things are on land:
1) Birds
2) Mammals
3) Reptiles
4) Amphibians
Fishes are not included because they are in water but not on land.
Mitosis makes copies of the host, so it is a good option to increase the population because it is a fast process. Meiosis is important to create genetic diversity, because it makes four genetically different haploid cells, instead of two genetically identical diploid cells, as mitosis does.
