What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
What happens to the DNA in your cells prior to cell division?
Cell division is a process in which a cell divides (roughly equally) to give two daughter cells. Therefore, there have to be two copies of the genome even before mitosis begins. When we look at the cell cycle, there are four distinct phases: G1, S, G2 and M. The S phase is where the DNA replicates. Once there are two copies in the genome, the cell goes through the G2 phase and then enters the M (mitosis) phase.
What is the function of chromatids?
Chromatids are the little strings of DNA inthe process called mitoisis
During cell division this shortens to pull the chromatids apart.?
spindle fibers
What are the two copies of DNA on each chromosome that form just before cell division?
Chromatids
Prior to cell division each chromosome replicates it genetic material The products are connected by a centromere and are called?
Sister chromatids
What happens to a cell's DNA prior to cell division?
It replicates.
How many chromatids in a cell in which DNA synthesis has occurred prior to cell division?
58 chromatids
During cell division each single long strand of DNA becomes fully condensed in the form of a?
During interphase, DNA replicates and becomes fully condensed in the form of sister chromatids. When the sister chromatids separate, they will each be called a chromosome.
The number of sister chromatids in a human body cell that is entering cell division is?
4
What functions to separate chromatids during cell division?
spindle apparatus
What chromosomes become visible at the beginning of cell division?
two chromatids
What is the failure of sister chromatids to separate during cell division?
Nondisjunction

What happens to DNA during cell division?
It replicates to the new cell being created. An exact clone of the original cell.

During cell division this shortens to pull the chromatids apart.?
spindle fibers
