Solution
Mitosis is a cell division which results in the formation of two daughter cells from a cell with the same number of chromosomes. Zygote undergoes mitotic divisions to develop into an embryo which in turn, also undergoes mitotic divisions to become an adult. So, the constancy of chromosomes is maintained in these three stages.
