What is copied before mitosis begins?

DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.

In mitosis how many times is the DNA copied?

In both mitosis and meiosis DNA replication only occurs once, during Interphase and Interphase 1, for mitosis and meiosis, respectively.

When does replication occur in cell's cycle?

Replication of DNA occurs during Interphase of both mitosis and meiosis. This means the DNA is doubled before the cell divides.


What is copied during mitosis and meiosis?

A cell and its chromasomes.


Compare interphase in mitosis dividing cells to meiosis dividing cells?

The interphase is the same for mitosis and meiosis. Just mitosis only has one telophase step (where the cells separate), while meiosis has two telophase steps. In both Mitosis and Meiosis, the cell only replicates it's DNA once.


Wich statement is true of both mitosis and meiosis?
