Why must a cell chromosome duplicate before mitosis occurs?

Chromosome duplication ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. This process also helps to maintain the proper chromosome number in the daughter cells after cell division. Duplicate chromosomes allow for accurate segregation of genetic material during mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a copy of every chromosome.


Describe the 6 stages of mitosis?

Prophase: in this stage of the mitosis the nuclear envelop disentigrate, and the centeoles began forming on both sides of the cell, and the spindle fibre form Metaphase: in metaphase the spindle fibre attach to the centromere and the chromosomes lined up in the middle of the cell. Anaphase: Telophase


Why is DNA copied before mitosis?

DNA has to replicate before mitosis to keep the number of chromosomes and DNA in the cell consistent. Mitosis is the process of reproducing cells by splitting one cell in half to make two. If the DNA didn't replicate, the two daughter cells wouldn't be able to have a complete strand. DNA replicates by dividing in half, then creating a mirror image of itself. Replication gives both strands of DNA an EXACT copy.For instance, say a cell contains 46 chromosomes (a human body cell). Before dividing in half, it has to double its amount of chromosomes. That way, each offspring cell has the same amount of chromosomes that a normal body cell has. If there weren't the same amount of chromosomes inside all of your body cells, you would have a disability. So, the amount doubles to 92 chromosomes. Then, when the cell splits, each of the offspring again have 46 chromosomes. This is because the chromosomes split equally between the two cells. If it didn't duplicate, the number of chromosomes in each cell would decrease by half each time. This would lead to some cells having a small amount of chromosomes and some cells still having 46. If this occurred, the body would not function properly. This is the same concept with DNA. *REMEMBER* Chromosomes replicate along with the DNA before mitosis begins.Hope that this helped! :D


What is the final product of mitosis?

The final product of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Each daughter cell is a replica of the original cell and is capable of carrying out its own functions.


Which cell divides once in mitosis?

Mitosis

How many chromosomes does the nucleus has after mitosis is complete?

The nucleus has the same number of chromosomes as before mitosis, typically twice the number of chromosomes in a human body cell (46 chromosomes in humans). During mitosis, the sister chromatids are separated and distributed equally to each daughter cell, maintaining the original chromosome number.


Final number of chromosomes in mitosis?

There are going to be half the amount of the original chromosomes that were in each cell to begin with. So therefore there are going to be 4 chromosomes in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis..Actually there will be 2 chromosomes, in each daughter cell at the end of mitosis!


Does homologous pair contain 2 chromosomes or the 4 chromatids after doubling?

It depends on if it was during the process of mitosis or mitosis. And, how many chromosomes it began with.
