What is the process called when an exact copy of the chromosomes is made?
Meiosis
What happens to chromosome during interphase?
During interphase, chromosomes are in the form of thread-like structures called chromatin.
What is the exact copy of a fossil called?
A replica
Describe and distinguish between replicated chromosomes and homologous chromosomes?
Chromosomes usually occur in pairs in body cells. One chromosome in the pair comes from one parent and the other chromosome comes from the other parent. The two chromosomes are the same size and shape and carry the same genes in the same positions. They are called homologous chromosomes. When cells divide the chromosomes first have to copy themselves (ie replicate). Each homologous chromosome makes a replica of itself, and the original and replica are attached to each other at a region called the centromere.
How are two chromosomes passed from the mother cell to two daughter cells?
during mitosis the chromosomes copy themselves and split apart half of the sister chromatids going to each daughter cell
When chromosomes make an exact copy of themselves?
Interphase :D
What is the process called when an exact copy of the chromosomes is made?
Meiosis
What makes copies of themselves before mitosis?
The chromosomes are copied, so that each daughter cell has an exact copy of the genetic material.
Does mitosis have the same chromosome number as the parent cell?
yes. the chromosomes make an exact copy of themselves to give to the daughter cell. as the cell starts to split, the copy moves into the daughter cell.
Are homologous chromosomes found in diploid?
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
Are homologous chromosomes found in diploid cells?
Yes, the chromosomes double/make a copy of themselves.
What does a chromosomes consists of?
A replicated chromosome consists of an exact copy (assuming no mutations) of the original chromosome, which is composed of DNA and proteins called histones.
What happens to chromosome during interphase?
During interphase, chromosomes are in the form of thread-like structures called chromatin.
What is the pairing of homologous chromosomes called?
The pairing of homologous chromosomes during prophase 1 is called crossing over. The chromosomes make a copy of themselves. The 4 cells can now twist together and exchange pieces.
What do chromosomes do before mitosis?
Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in a cell replicate. This occurs during the S (synthesis) phase. Chromosomes need to replicate so that when the cell divides at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells each recieve a copy of the chromosomes.
Why do you think chromosomes are copied during cell division?
I think that because you when you copy something you are making an exact replica of it.
What is the exact copy of a fossil called?
A replica
