Mitosis results in two daughter cells that are exactly the same as the parent cell.
So a cell with 12 chromosomes will have two daughter cells, each with 12 chromosomes, after mitosis.

The two daughter cells will each end up with the same amount of chromosomes as the parent, in your case 12.

each daughter cell always has the same number of chromosomes in them as the mother cell after mitosis. the answer is 12 chromosomes!
this is because during interphase, the chromosomes are replicated. thus the cell at metaphase (in your case) contains 12 chromosomes, each made up of 2 sister chromatids. (there are at this point 24 sister chromatids) when the sister chromatids split apart at anaphase, each cell will receive an entire complement of chromosomes (12 to each cell). if you study the diagrams of mitosis carefully, this will become clear. I know it's kind of confusing at first, but you'll soon see how incredible it is!

each daughter cell will have 6 chromosomes after mitosis
