    Answer: 46 chromosomes

    Explanation:

    Each diploid cell has two sets of chromosomes (i. e 2n) and are 46 in total. After undergoing mitosis, each of these cells divides into two daughter cells with the exact chromosome number as the parent cell.

    Thus, mitosis occurs only in somatic (body) cells and yield daughter cells with 46 chromosomes.
