Does replication provide a means for passing DNA from cell to cell and organism to organism?
Yes, replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA to pass on to daughter cells during cellular division. Through replication, cells can pass genetic information to offspring or future generations.
To what end are nucleotides added during DNA replication?
Nucleotides are added during DNA replication to create a new complementary strand of DNA, ensuring accurate genetic information is passed on to daughter cells during cell division.
What are the two new cells that are duplicated from DNA during mitosis called?
the two new cells are called daughter cells.
Why do daughter cells contain the same amount of DNA as original cell?
DNA makes a copy of itself, in a cell that is undergoing fission. It is an accurate copy (not necessarily 100% accurate, but very close). That is the basis of genetic inheritance. If the daughter cell did not contain the same DNA as the parent cell, it would not be the same species. Only in sexual gametes do we get an exception, in which case each of two parents contributes (approximately) half the DNA.
Is a mutation passed on to new cells that are copied by it?
Yes, mutations are passed on to new cells during replication. If a mutation occurs in a cell's DNA, it will be present in all daughter cells that are produced through replication. This can lead to genetic variation and evolution over time.
When there is a mutation in DNA is it passed down?
Yes. Mutations on a cell are passed on to the daughter cells during cell division
Are daughter cells found in DNA?
No, DNA is found in daughter cells, not the other way around.
What is the copy of the parent cells DNA?
daughter cells bro! daughter cells...
Does replication provide a means for passing DNA from cell to cell and organism to organism?
Yes, replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA to pass on to daughter cells during cellular division. Through replication, cells can pass genetic information to offspring or future generations.
What is the difference in DNA between parent cells and daughter cells in meiosis?
Parent cells are diploids, and daughter cells are haploids. Therefore, the daughter cells have half of the the number of chromosomes as the parent cells. (chromosomes are DNA)
Do daughter cells have DNA?
Yes, daughter cells have DNA. During cell division, the DNA in the parent cell is replicated and then evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. This allows each daughter cell to have a complete set of DNA for normal cellular functions and genetic information.
Daughter cells have a complete set of what?
DNA
What is the same about the starting cells and daughter cells?
Both the starting cells (parent cells) and daughter cells have an identical copy of DNA in their nucleus
Why wouldn't mutation in a lung cell be passed on to offspring?
Mutations in body (somatic) cells, such as lung cells, do not affect the DNA in egg or sperm cells that are passed on to offspring. Only mutations in the DNA of reproductive cells can be passed on to future generations.
What describes the DNA in two daughter bacteria cells?
The DNA in two daughter bacterial cells is identical to the DNA in the parent cell. During binary fission, the parent cell's DNA is replicated and distributed equally between the two daughter cells, ensuring they have the same genetic information.
The daughter cells in mitosis are genetically?
daughter cells are similar to parents because they share the same dna
How is information from the DNA passed on from one cell to another?
The DNA makes a copy of itself to be passed to the new cells.
