Then it would not have enough copies of chromosomes to give the right amount to the daughter cells. This may result in half the daughter cells receiving the DNA and half receiving no DNA - or else...

This may result in half the daughter cells receiving the DNA and half receiving no DNA - or else daughter cells with half the DNA they should have received.

cell division would not occur. copying of the DNA is the main process in cell division and one of the first processes it goes through.

What is parent ionization energy?

It is the energy that is needed for ionization to happen. The parent ion is the ion before ionization, after it is known as the daughter ion


Does the parent cell still exist during cytokinesis?

No, the parent cell is divided into two separate daughter cells.


Chromosomes in the parent cell what before they divide into daughter?

Double


Which chromosomes are found in a daughter cell?

Each daughter cell contains half of the chromosomes from the parent cell. Because the parent cell undergoes DNA replication before mitosis, the parent cell and the daughter cells will be diploid.


Why does cell division doesn't lead to daughter cells that only contain half the information of their parent cells?

Cell division or Mitosis generates 2 cells that are identical to the parent cell. yes conceptually, the parent is essentially divided in half, but before that event, the DNA, or the 'information' is duplicated so to generate 2 identical copies of the DNA or 'information'. thus, one copy for each daughter cell. the daughter cells do start out smaller then the parent, but then do grow in size and become identical in information and size to the parent.


What process MUST happen in the parent cell before it divides?

before the parent cells divide they have to find there matching cell


A parent died leaving her estate to her daughter. The daughter subsequently died without a will. How is the estate divided?

In the US:The property that the daughter inherited from her parent would pass to the daughter's heirs-at-law under the laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.


How are daughter and parent cells alike?

Daughter and parent cells are alike because the daughter cell comes from the parent cell.


A cell with a diploid number of 20 undergoes meiosis. this will produce?

It will have 4 daughter cells and 10 chromosome per daughter cell because the number of chromosomes you start with is doubled and then divided by four.


What is melosis?

Meiosis is the cell division of two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. Meiosis happen in organisms such as plants.


What must happen before a body cell can begin mitotic cell division?

The DNA of the cell must be duplicated so each resulting daughter cell has a complete copy of the DNA of the parent cell.


How do the daughter cells compare to parent cells?

Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.
