so that there will be two sets of DNA ... one for each new cell. If the DNA doesnt replicate one new cell would have no DNA. and cells need DNA.

Why mitosis importent?

Because it is the system by which plants and animals grow.When the cell divides a complete copy of the first cell's DNA must be replicated in the new cell.


Which cellular organelles replicate in the G1 phase of the cell cycle?

Organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplasts replicated in the G1 phase of the cell cycle. This is so that when the cell divides, no parts are lost.

What are all the differences between meiosis and mitosis?

in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.

What is a characteristic of mitosis and not of meiosis?

The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.


What is the separation of daughter cells is called?

If you are referring to cell division, this is most commonly mitosis, in which the cell replicates its organelles, and then divides. However, there is also meiosis, in which the organelles are not replicated before division, thus resulting in a gamete or sex cell (eggs/sperm).


What are the phases when a cell's DNA is replicated?

The cell's DNA is replicated during interphase.
