One spring, your friend living in Minnesota eagerly sets up her new hummingbird feeders, and is thrilled to watch hummingbirds feeding on the nectar. However, she is disappointed when after just a week or two the hummingbirds disappear. What advice would you give her

Mitosis = 28 chromosomes

Meiosis = 14 chromosomes

Explanation:

- Mitosis is the type of cell division in which the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell and possess the same number of chromosome as the parent cells. For example, a diploid parent will produce a diploid daughter cell after mitosis.

- Meiosis, on the contrary, is the cell division that produces daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. Each daughter cell have a reduced number of chromosomes (by half).

According to this question, a diploid eukaryotic cell contains 14 pairs of chromosomes i.e. 2n=28. After mitosis, each daughter cell will have same 28 chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis on the other hand, will produce daughter cells that possess 14 chromosomes each.
