It because of the impeccable mechanism of mitosis and cell cycle. During the S phase of cell cycle, the genetic material replicate. Suppose there are 12 chromosomes in the cell, then the 12 extra copies of these cell is made. The number of the chromosome is doubled and each chromosome is present in number of two identical copies. When the mitosis occurs two poles are created in the cell. The chromosomes align initially to the equatorial plate at the centre. Then the chromosomes move towards pole such that one copy of a chromosome moves to one pole and the other moves to other pole. When the cell divided the chromosomes are equally and identically distributed in both cells.

During the S phase of interphase a new identical DNA strand is synthesized so when mitosis occurs, each new daughter cell will have exactly the same genetic material as the parent cell.

After a cell undergoes mitosis how are the two new cells alike?

the two cells are alike because the mother cell had 2 pairs of each strand of DNA for the two daughter cells. Each daughter cell has the same DNA to carry on the species and to preform mitosis again.


Exogenous DNA can be inserted into bacterial cells in order to alter their genetic makeup and support expression of new protein products What are they?

Plasmids.

The new cells have the exact same genetic information as the fertilized egg. (Study Island)


What are the two new cells that are duplicated from DNA during mitosis called?

the two new cells are called daughter cells.


How is genetic material organize in eukaryotic cells?

The genetic material of eukaryotic cells is organized in chromosomes.The genetic material of a cell contains information needed for the cells' growth and other activities. When a cell divides into 2 new cells, each new cell receives a full set of genetic material. The genetic material in cells is contained in DNA molecules. Source: "Cells and Heredity" (Biology book)


What determines wether the mutation is passed on to offspring?

Chromosomal recombination passes the new genetic makeup to offspring


What is the function of the inner core of a virus?

The inner core contains genetic makeup that creats new viruses.


What is responsible for carrying the genetic material of parent cells to new cells?

Do neww cells have the same or different genetic material as the parent cell?

In the future, be more specific in your question. It is impossible for one to know whether you meant mitosis, meiosis, or otherwise from your question. Assuming mitosis, they are genetically identical outside of mutations.


Which macromolecules are copied and pass genetic informaation to the new cells?

DNA molecules are copied and pass genetic information to the new cells. The process of coping is called replication. Nucleotide is the unit of DNA molecule.


The genetic material that carries information needed to make new cells or new organisms?

DNA is the genetic material that carries the information needed to make new organisms or new cells within organisms. The DNA in mitochondria is only from the individual's maternal lineage, versus the individual's unique DNA found in other cells.
