A DNA molecule that begins with "m" is called a "mitochondrial DNA" (mtDNA). This form of DNA is found in the mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles in cells, and is inherited maternally. Mitochondrial DNA has its own distinct genetic code and plays a crucial role in cellular respiration and energy production.

When the M phase begins during the cell cycle it starts with?

When the M phase, or mitosis, begins during the cell cycle, it starts with prophase. Prophase is the first stage of mitosis where chromatin condenses into visible chromosomes, the nuclear membrane breaks down, and the mitotic spindle begins to form.


What Is The Stage Of The cell cycle In Which A cell's DNA Is Called?

The stage of the cell cycle in which a cell's DNA is called chromatin is during interphase, specifically in the G1, S, and G2 phases. During these phases, the DNA is in a less condensed form, allowing for gene expression and DNA replication. It is only during mitosis (the M phase) that the DNA condenses into visible chromosomes.


What are four phases of the cell cycle and what happens in each phase?

G1 phase-the cell grows and begins replication process S phase- DNA process and replication begins. The cell has transferred all DNA to the cell being made. It makes an exact copy. G2 Phase-more growth takes place M phase (mitosis)-the chromatids line up and are ready to spilt into to daughter cells.


Why is the mRNA molecule called messenger RNA?

The simple answer is that DNA is located in the cell nucleus, but protein synthesis takes place in the cytoplasm. So a messenger molecule (mRNA) is needed to carry the genetic information from DNA (in the nucleus) to the ribosomes (in the cytoplasm) where the proteins are synthesised.

Is the DNA condensed in all or part of which phases?

DNA is condensed during Prophase, Anaphase and Telophase. Aka, M phase
