Question:

At the end of mitosis in a human body cell, how many cells are produced and what is the number of chromosomes in each cell?

A 2 cells with 46 chromosomes.
explanation

Mitosis divides a cell into an identical copy of the parent. One phase of mitosis produces two cells that are genetically identical to the parent. The two cells produced in mitosis are diploid, meaning they contain two copies of each chromosome. In humans, there are 46 chromosomes (or 23 pairs, with one set from each parent). Therefore, at the end of mitosis, the two cells produced each contain 46 chromosomes as well.[Life Science]
