During mitosis, DNA in the nucleus is copied and passed to the new cells
Cell Division occurs in a series of stages, or phases.
1st Interphase:
- Chromosomes are copied (#doubles)
- Chromosomes appear as threadlike coils (chromatin) at the start, but each chromosome and its copy (sister chromosome) change to sister chromatids at end of this phase.
2nd Prophase:
- Mitosis begins (cells begin to divide)
- Centrioles (or poles) appear to begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
- Spindle fibers form between the poles.
3rd Metaphase:
- Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) attach to the spindle fibers.
4th Anaphase:
- Chromatids (or pairs of chromosomes) seperate and begin to move to opposite ends of the cell.
5th Telophase:
- Two new nuclei form.
- Chromosomes appear as chromatin (threads rather than rods)
- Mitosis ends.
6th Cytokinesis:
- Cell membrane moves inward to create two daughter cells -- each with its own nucleus with identical chromosomes.

∙ 11y agoDNA replication actually precedes mitosis and occurs during the S phase of interphase. The DNA is duplicated but the two copies (sister chromatids) are still attached at one point called a centromere. At this point it resembles the familiar X shaped of the chromosome. During metaphase of mitosis those chromosomes are lined up at the metaphase plate. The spindle fibers attach to the centrosome pulling the sister chromatids to opposite end of the cell (anaphase). When the cell starts to pinch off, each new cell will then have a complete copy of the DNA.

∙ 12y agoSince they replicate, i think they're doubled. But, I'm not sure.

During what part of the mitosis does the DNA replicate?
the DNA replicates before mitosis begins
Which of these terms would NOT be associated with DNA during mitosis?
Replication would not be associated with DNA during mitosis.
During what part of the mitosis process dose the DNA replicate?
The DNA replicates before mitosis begins
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
Is DNA replication the same as mitosis?
No, mitosis is the process of cell division. DNA replication is only one part of this process.
What is the DNA of mitosis?
There is no DNA of mitosis. Before mitosis, the DNA must be replicated, which occurs during interphase of the cell cycle.
Can DNA be copied in mitosis?
DNA is not copied during mitosis . Mitosis is meant for division of cell and DNA is divided in two daughter cells .
During what part of the mitosis does the DNA replicate?
the DNA replicates before mitosis begins
Mitosis is processed by what?
Mitosis is processed by DNA replicating
Which of these terms would NOT be associated with DNA during mitosis?
Replication would not be associated with DNA during mitosis.
Does DNA replicate in mitosis?
no DNA replicates before mitosis. It replicates in the S phase of inter phase
During what part of the mitosis process dose the DNA replicate?
The DNA replicates before mitosis begins
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
Is DNA replication the same as mitosis?
No, mitosis is the process of cell division. DNA replication is only one part of this process.
Why does the cell need to replicate its DNA for mitosis?
because the DNA cannot leave the nucleaus. so it creates a duplicate of the DNA so the process of mitosis can carry out
In preparation for mitosis DNA is copied this is called DNA?
DNA is not copied during mitosis. It is copied in the portion of the cell cycle prior to mitosis during the S phase of interphase and is called DNA Replication.
Why is it important that DNA replicates before the process of mitosis?
DNA must replicate before mitosis can begin. Mitosis is another word for cell division and so there needs to be two copies of the DNA for the two new cells.
