Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.

Is DNA replicated during mitosis or meiosis?

DNA is replicated during the S phase of the cell cycle before both mitosis and meiosis.


Is DNA replication involved in mitosis or meiosis?

DNA replication is involved in both mitosis and meiosis.


Which phase occurs before mitosis or meiosis?

The interphase occurs before both mitosis and meiosis. During interphase, the cell grows, carries out normal metabolic activities, and duplicates its DNA in preparation for cell division.


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.


Does DNA replication occur after telophase 1?

Telophase is a phase of mitosis. DNA replication must occur before mitosis begins. If it does not then the DNA chromosomes may not be consistent throughout the division of the cells.


When does replication happen during mitosis or meiosis?

Replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle before both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, the replicated DNA is separated into two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, the replicated DNA is separated into four haploid daughter cells with genetic variation.


Why do you need to know about DNA replication?

For mitosis and meiosis


What is the phase that is skipped or shortened in meiosis?

In meiosis, the phase that is typically skipped or shortened compared to mitosis is interphase. This is because the DNA does not need to replicate again before entering meiosis II, unlike in mitosis where each cell cycle is followed by an interphase for DNA replication.


In which stage of the cell cycle, mitosis or meiosis, does DNA replication occur?

DNA replication occurs in the S phase of the cell cycle, which is part of both mitosis and meiosis.


In mitosis how many times is the DNA copied?

In both mitosis and meiosis DNA replication only occurs once, during Interphase and Interphase 1, for mitosis and meiosis, respectively.


What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?

Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.


When does replication occur in cell's cycle?

Replication of DNA occurs during Interphase of both mitosis and meiosis. This means the DNA is doubled before the cell divides.
