At the beginning of mitosis, the number of visible **chromosomes **in a cell is typically 46 in humans.
This number represents the diploid (2n) chromosome count, as humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in their somatic (body) cells. Each pair consists of one chromosome from the **mother **and one from the father, resulting in a total of 46 chromosomes.
These chromosomes become visible because they condense and tightly coil during the early stages of mitosis, particularly during prophase. This condensation is crucial for the accurate **segregation **of genetic material into the daughter cells during cell division. Once the chromosomes are fully condensed and aligned at the metaphase plate during metaphase, they are evenly distributed to the two daughter cells during anaphase, maintaining the diploid chromosome count in each of the daughter cells.

At the beginning of mitosis, 46 chromosomes are visible in human somatic cells. Each chromosome consists of two identical sister chromatids attached at the centromere. This process is crucial for the accurate distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.
