DNA replication is technically not part of mitosis. Mitosis is simply the splitting of the nucleus. DNA replication however is part of the interphase, which is part of the cell cycle. The DNA replication is also known as the S phase in the interphase. In this part, the DNA is replicated creating two sets of all genetic information.

No, mitosis is the replication of a cell. There are specific phases of mitosis which can be associated with specific stages of cell replication. During Interphase and early Prophase, the cell unwinds its DNA and begins to replicate it.

Yes. DNA replication occurs before mitosis or meiosis occurs.

yes, it is exactly the same as the parent. the asexual reproduction makes two identical 'babies.'

DNA replication does occurs in the S-phase of interphase (synthesis). This is before mitosis, where meiosis takes place in which the DNA is replicated once.

No - DNA replication occurs before prophase, during S phase. This is between the G1 and G2 phases (the middle of interphase). Prophase is when DNA condenses and chromosomes become visible.

Wich statement is true of both mitosis and meiosis?

DNA replication occurs before the division of the nucleus.


Is it true that the process in which the cell makes an exact copy of the DNA in its nucleus is replication?

Yes. It is called DNA replication.


Does DNA replication occur before the division of the nucleus in both meiosis and mitosis?

The cell cycle consists of interphase followed by cell division (in this case mitosis). it's true that DNA replication occurs during interphase, however interphase itself has 3 phases: 1. G1(=gap1): when the cell grows and fuctions 2. S (=Synthesis) when DNA replication occurs (as synthesizing anew DNA copy) 3. G2 (gap2): when the cell accumulates nutrients before the division itself.


True or false replication start at one end of DNA molecule and proceeds to the other end?

False: DNA replication starts at origins of replication which can be anywhere on the DNA molecule. Replication is taking place at multiple origins at the same time.

True or false Domain controllers located in different sites will participate in intrasite replication?

False Only one domain controller will be used per site to replicate to another site(process called as intersite replication) it could be a bridge head server(selected DC to do replication from the site)or DC selected by ISTG protocol if enabled. there would be lot of DCs in intrasite replication within a site.
