What event during interphase must occur for the cell to be capable of undergoing future divisions?
DNA replication must occur during interphase for the cell to be capable of undergoing future divisions. This ensures that each daughter cell will receive a complete set of genetic information during cell division.
Why does meiosis have two cell divisions?
Meiosis has two cell divisions because it is a process that reduces the chromosome number in half, creating genetically diverse sex cells (gametes) for sexual reproduction. The two divisions help ensure that each resulting gamete has a unique combination of genetic material.
How does the process of mitosis differ from meiosis in terms of genetic variation and the number of cell divisions?
In mitosis, one cell divides into two identical cells, resulting in no genetic variation. There is only one cell division in mitosis. In meiosis, one cell divides into four cells, each with different genetic material, leading to genetic variation. Meiosis involves two cell divisions.
How many mitotic divisions are required for a single cell to produce 256 cells?
Eight mitotic divisions are required for a single cell to produce 256 cells, as each division doubles the number of cells. Starting with one cell, the first division produces 2 cells, the second division produces 4 cells, and so on until 256 cells are reached after 8 divisions.
How many divisions will a cell with 16 chromosomes have during meiosis?
Even if there was that kind of sex cell, I don't think it would survive! Sex cells ALWAYS have 46 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis, as long as there are no mistakes, each sperm or egg cell would have 23 chromosomes.

When a cell needs to make a protein what two processes must occur and where does each of these occur?
Ribosomes make protein.
Chromosomes replicate during this phase between divisions?
Chromosomes replicate during the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs in between cell divisions. This process ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material during cell division.

How many cells will there be after 7 successive mitotic divisions of a zygote?
After 7 successive mitotic divisions, each cell will have undergone 8 rounds of division (the original division plus the 7 additional divisions). This means the number of cells will be 2^8, which is 256 cells.
How many mitotic divisions are required for a single cell to produce 256 cells?
Eight mitotic divisions are required for a single cell to produce 256 cells, as each division doubles the number of cells. Starting with one cell, the first division produces 2 cells, the second division produces 4 cells, and so on until 256 cells are reached after 8 divisions.
How many divisions occur in meiosis?
Meiosis does in fact divide twice, once in meiosis I (cytokinesis) and meiosis II (cytokinesis) basically it divides into four daughter cells at the end of meiosis. Two from meiosis I and four in meiosis II
Why would each daughter have 23 choromosomes if the parent cell contains 46?
This could occur only if the parent cell underwent meiosis.
How many divisions will a cell with 16 chromosomes have during meiosis?
Even if there was that kind of sex cell, I don't think it would survive! Sex cells ALWAYS have 46 chromosomes. At the end of meiosis, as long as there are no mistakes, each sperm or egg cell would have 23 chromosomes.
How many mitotic cell divisions would it take for one zygote to grow in an organism with 100 trillion cells?
It would take about 40 consecutive mitotic cell divisions for one zygote to grow into an organism with 100 trillion cells. This is because each cell division doubles the number of cells, so 2^40 is approximately equal to 100 trillion.
How many cell divisions would it take to produce at least 1000 cells from 1 cell?
500 cell divisions. Why? Because 500x2=1000. You also could have found the answer by just doing 1000 divided by 2. Which equals obviously 500.
