You get two exact replica or the photocopies of DNA during splitting of DNA.
The splitting of a DNA molecule down the middle occurs during the process of DNA replication. This splitting is carried out by an enzyme called helicase, which unwinds the double helix structure of DNA to expose the two separate strands.
During the S stage DNA synthesis occurs. (copying of the DNA)
DNA replication happens during s-phase.
it doubles
synthesis of DNA DNA Replication
Each parent gives part of their DNA to their offspring.
the DNA will divide
DNA Splitting
cell duplicates its DNA
cell duplicates its DNA
It happens during interphase of the cell cycle.
DNA content decreases during mitosis because the DNA condenses and coils into tightly packed chromosomes, making it appear as if there is less DNA present. The actual amount of DNA remains the same throughout mitosis, it is just organized differently for cell division.
