The DNA is copied when the RNA goes in the nucleus and combines with one of the copies of the DNA and takes it to the ribosomes. When the RNA takes a copy of the DNA the DNA goes through a process called Replication.

Replication is when an organism's entire genome, its entire DNA sequence, makes a copy of itself. Why does it do this? Because when two cells divide, the new one needs its own personal set of instructions on what types of proteins need to be made, how much, etc. During the lifecycle of Eukaryotic cells this happens during the S (synthesis) phase where the genetic material copies itself, segregates the new from the old DNA, and then splits the nucleus in two producing two complete sets of DNA and two nuclei.

When are cells haploid but the chromosomes are still in the duplicated state?

my college bio proffessor told me that even though chromosomes are still in the duplicated state, the chromosomes are duplicated so technically they do have "23" chromosomes but they instead have 2 sets of it. these 2 sets are the same so they dont count as a "full" set of 46 chromosomes. :) hope this helps!!

Why must chromosomes be duplicated before mitosis?

Chromosomes have to be duplicated so that the same amount of DNA will be transferred into the new cells formed by mitosis. The new cells will be mutated if they do not duplicate.


When do the chromosomes become duplicated?

Chromosomes become duplicated during meiosis. This is the process of replicating sex cells, otherwise known as gametes. This is how humans create new sex cells for reproduction.
