Why do chromosomes need to become 2 strands before the cell divides?
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.
What happens to genetic information before a cell divides?
The genetic information is duplicated, so that each new cell has the same genetic code as the original.
Why is it important that the cell replicates its DNA?
So that each of the daughter cells formed during mitosis will have an identical copy of the DNA.
Why does the cell have to copy the hereditary material before it divides?
So that when the cell duplicates into two daughter cells each will have its own set of genetic information.
Do the human sperm and egg cell each normally carry one third of the genetic information of the potential offspring?
No - they carry half of the genetic information. The new offspring will have half their genetic information from each parent. Therefore sperm and egg cells carry half the amount of genetic material found in normal cells.
How all the cell of the body contain the same genetic information?
Because each cell gets a copy of this information as it is created by cell division of the mother cell.
Why do chromosomes need to become 2 strands before the cell divides?
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.
Why is it important that a cell copy its DNA before mitosis takes place?
This ensures that a cell about to divide has two sets of genetic information , one for each daughter cell.
What happens to genetic information before a cell divides?
The genetic information is duplicated, so that each new cell has the same genetic code as the original.
What does each new cell get after mitosis?
Each daughter cell gets an exact copy of its parent cell i.e same genetic material
What hapens during binary fission?
Binary fission is a type of asexual reproduction in which the parent cell makes a copy of its genetic information or DNA. The parent cell then divides into two parts through cytokinesis with each cell receiving a copy of the DNA.
In a multicellular organism each cell has?
Half the genetic information in a sex cell
How does mitosis ensure that a new plant cell is identical to its parents?
Mitosis ensure that a new cell is identical to its parents by their copy of the parent's genome in mitosis. Identical genetic information will result in identical cells.
Each daughter cell has a complete set of what?
genetic information
What phase is a copy of each chromosome made?
Genetic Information is copied during Cell Division known as Mitosis. This occurs at the stage of Interphase in which the cell grows and prepares for division.
When a cell divides each resulting new cell must contain a complete copy of this to be healthy?
If a cell is undergoing mitosis then yes each cell must contain a complete copy of all the genetic material. If the cell is undergoing meiosis which occurs when sex cells divide then a full set of genetic material is not expected. All that is expected is half of the material.
What process insures each daughter cell gets one complete set of genetic information?
Cell Division
