The fundamental importance of chromosomes is that they contain DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, the substance that contains every organism's genetic code.
When a cell divides, its chromosomes must first replicate. Cells divide in two basic ways – mitosis and meiosis. The latter type of division incorporates the former.
What else can I help you with?
Which are rod shaped structures that are important in cell division?
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell and are rod shaped
Does meiosis have same number of chromosomes in the new cell and in the old cell?
No, meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in the new cell to half of what was in the original cell. This is important for sexual reproduction to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.
Why is the s phase so important?
With twice the amount of chromosomes in the parent cell, each daughter cell can have a normal number of chromosomes after the cell splits in mitosis.
Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?
No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.
If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?
if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.
Why are chromosomes important to your cell?
Chromosomes are the organanized form on DNA found in a cell. hope this helps(:
Which are rod shaped structures that are important in cell division?
Chromosomes are found in the nucleus of the cell and are rod shaped
Why is it important for the daughter cell to have a complete copy of chromosomes from parent cell?
Because you can have mother like self inside of your daughters cell and to make it complete copy of chromosomes from the parents cell....................
Does meiosis have same number of chromosomes in the new cell and in the old cell?
No, meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in the new cell to half of what was in the original cell. This is important for sexual reproduction to ensure the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.

Where is the location of the chromosomes in the cell?
the chromosomes are in the merherder region of the cell
Does a sperm cell have the same chromosomes as a cheek cell?
No, a sperm cell and a cheek cell do not have the same chromosomes. A sperm cell is a haploid cell containing 23 chromosomes, while a cheek cell is a somatic cell with 46 chromosomes, which is diploid.
If a cell division has 64 chromosomes how many chromosomes will the new cells have after cell division?
if a cell has 64 chromosomes together, all the offspring cells will have 64 chromosomes each.
What is a cell with pairs of chromosomes called and a cell with no pairs of chromosomes?
A cell with pairs of chromosomes is called a diploid cell, while a cell with no pairs of chromosomes is called a haploid cell. Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, one from each parent, while haploid cells have only one set of chromosomes.
How many pairs of autosomal chromosomes do you have in a cell?
You have 22 pairs of autosomal chromosomes in a cell and 1 pair of sexomal chromosomes in that same cell.
What important event occurs to chromosomes during interphase?
An important event that occurs during interphase is chromosome duplication (the uncoiling of the DNA). This prepares the cell for cell division as the cells are still growing during interphase.
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
How many chromosomes does each new cell contain after mitosis if the original cell had 52 original cell chromosomes?
