Understand that mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell.
Recall that during mitosis, the chromosome number of the parent cell is maintained in the daughter cells.
Note that the parent cell in this problem has 46 chromosomes.
During mitosis, the chromosomes are duplicated and then divided equally between the two daughter cells, ensuring each daughter cell receives the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Therefore, each daughter cell will have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, which is 46 chromosomes.
