This is known as DNA replication and occurs in the S (synthesis) phase. The DNA needs to be duplicated so that when the cell divides, the daughter cells all get the correct number of chromosomes.

How many cells are formed after cell division?

When body cells (somatic) undergo cell division (mitosis) It creates a duplicate cell. So for every cell undergoing cellular division, one new cell plus will be formed and the original will remain.


Mitosis is one type of cell division that produces an exact duplicate of the nucleus cell True or False?

True. Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell, including an exact duplicate of the nucleus.


Why are cells produced by mitosis always exactly like the cell that they came from?

Cells produced by mitosis simply duplicate themselves, so they will always be identical to the cell they came from.

mitosis? (its a type of cell division)


What does a cell look like after undergoing mitosis?

Mitosis cells are identical (but smaller) daughter cells made by replicating and dividing the original chromosomes, in effect making a cellular xerox.


How many chromosomes are in each cell formed after mitosis?

Mitosis produces daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell - so human cells produced by mitosis will have 46 chromosomes.


What is the scientific name for cell division?

Mitosis is a cell division which takes place in normal body cells. Mitosis produces daughter cells which are identical to the original cell. Body cells all have the same genetic information due to Mitosis. Body cells that are produced during Mitosis all need the same genetic information so that they can do the same job as the original cell. Before the cell can divide it must make new copies of the chromosomes in its nucleus. This allows for cells that are produced to have identical genetic information. Two daughter cells are formed. Mitosis is asexual cell division.

How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis compare the the original cell?

The daughter cells are identical to the original cell.


Are the genes in daughter cells produced by mitoses the same as or different from the genes in the original cell?

The genes in daughter cells produced by mitosis are the same as the genes in the original cell. Mitosis is a process of cell division where the genetic material is replicated and evenly distributed between the daughter cells, ensuring that they have an identical genetic makeup to the original cell.


The division of the cell nucleus called?

The division of the cell nucleus is called mitosis. During mitosis, the cell's chromosomes are replicated and divided equally into two daughter cells. This process ensures that each new cell receives a complete set of genetic information.
