How do both the parent and the offspring cells have the same amount of DNA if the parent cell was divided in two?
Interphase (a stage of mitosis) takes the cells DNA and creates a copy of it. Through prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase the cell will split apart. Then you get it so each daughter cell has the exact same DNA as the parent, including the amount it had. Meiosis is kind of the same way but you have two sets of DNA to choose from. The genes get combined and that's where you get dominant and recessive traits. Say your mom had brown hair and your dad had blonde hair. You would have the genetics you either have brown or blonde hair. Say you get blonde hair and you marry a redhead. Your children have a more likely chance to get blonde or red hair, but there is a possibility to have brown hair. It is all probability on how you guess what meiosis will yield. Hopefully this isn't too confusing:)

When bacteria reproduce by what one cell divides to form two identical cells?
One parent produces offspring that are exact copies of the parent.
How many chromosomes dose each parent pass to their offspring?
When a parent is going to have an offspring the offspring only gets half a chromosome from each parent, they combine to make one chromosome then that chromosome gets copied until there are 23 pairs of chromosome's. This is how you get your features.
How are the 2 forms of a gene distributed to the offspring?
The two forms of a gene, one from each parent, are distributed to offspring during meiosis when sex cells are formed. Each parent contributes one allele of a gene to the offspring, determining the genetic make-up and traits of the offspring.
What is reproduction of offspring from one parent?
Asexual Reproduction Because, daughter cells gets chromosomes from single parent.DNA
What is the significance of this second cell division to sexual reproduction?
It ensures that offspring develop from cells that are identical to the parent cell.
Why is the offspring not identical to parent in asexual reproduction?
The offspring is not identical to parent in sexual reproduction because sexual reproduction produces an offspring that is genetically different from the parents. ---- The answer above is actually incorrect. The offspring is identical genetically to the parent because mitosis produces cells genetically identical to the parent cell or cells. But the offspring itself is not identical.
Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes, mutations can be passed from parent to offspring through genetic inheritance. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can be inherited if they occur in the germline cells (sperm or egg cells) of an individual. These mutations can then be passed on to future generations.
How does the heredity of a cell formed by mitosis compare to the herdity of the parent cell?
During Mitosis the cell creates an exact replica of the DNA and the cell as a whole. When an offspring is formed asexually the parent and offspring are also identical. When an offspring is formed sexually half the genetics of the parents are passed on to the offspring.
What happens to the parent cell when the ameba reproduces?
The two new offspring cells separate and the parent cell no longer exists
Will a mutation that occurs in a skin cell be passed on to organism offspring?
No, mutations that occur in skin cells are not passed on to organism offspring because they are not present in the germ cells (sperm or egg cells) that are involved in reproduction. Only mutations in the germ cells can be passed on to offspring.
Type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cells functions?
DNA is the type of nucleic acid that passes from parent to offspring and directs all the cells' functions. It contains the genetic information that determines an organism's traits and characteristics.
