What else can I help you with?
In which types of cells does mitosis not occur?
Mitosis does not occur in sex cells, such as sperm and egg cells, as they undergo a different type of cell division called meiosis.
Does longitudinal splitting of chromosomes occur in mitosis?
No, longitudinal splitting of chromosomes does not occur in mitosis. During mitosis, chromosomes condense and align along the metaphase plate before being separated into two daughter cells. Longitudinal splitting can occur during meiosis I to produce haploid daughter cells.
Do eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis?
Yes, eukaryotic cells undergo mitosis during the cell cycle in order to replicate and divide. Mitosis is the process by which a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
What does not occur in plants cell mitosis but does occur in animal cell mitosis?
Astral rays does occur in animal cells not in plant cell
Why doesnt mitosis alone produce daughter cells?
Mitosis alone does not produce daughter cells because the cytoplasm has to divide. This is called cytokinesis and it happens at the end of telophase.
Does DNA occur before or after mitosis?
It occurs before mitosis, in the S-phase (synthesis) of interphase.
Does mitosis occur only in childhood?
Mitosis is the process where cells divide to produce new, identical cells in growth. Whilst childhood sees a rapid rate of mitosis the process continues throughout life as we are always regenerating cells. The easiest way to see cell growth is in the fingernails and hair. All those new cells were produced with mitosis.Incidentally, a cancerous tumour is caused by cells performing mitosis out of control.
What is copied before mitosis begins?
DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.
When does metaphase occur?
Metaphase occurs during meiosis and mitosis. These processes are how most cells reproduce to make two new cells. Some use binary fission.
Explain why DNA replication must occur before mitosis starts?
DNA replication must occur before mitosis starts to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete and identical copy of the genetic information. If DNA replication did not occur before mitosis, the daughter cells would have only half of the necessary genetic material, leading to genetic abnormalities and potentially cell death.
In what parts of your body does mitosis not occur?
Within the body's cells.This is true but very vague. Mitosis occurs in all of the bodys cells that are somatic, meaning any cell that is notproduced in an organisms sex organ. The (daughter) cells that are produced are genetically identical to their (Parent) cell. These cells are produced for the purpose of replacing old or damaged cells in order to prevent disease, as well as growth and repair.
Is it important for cells to divide?
If cells do not divide properly, then many problems can occur, cancer cells for example.
