The process is called DNA replication. This occurs with the help of specific enzymes which first split apart the double helix down the middle, and then an enzyme known as DNA polymerase brings specific nitrogenous bases (purines and pyrimidines) to match the ones on the individual helices, which then result in two identical DNA molecules.

What is duplicated during the process of mitosis?

DNA duplication occurs during the interphase, specifically the S phase. After replication, the cell then enters the first active phase of mitosis.


What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?

Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.


What process does not occur in the chromosome between mitosis 1 and mitosis 2 that causes the chromosome number to be reduced?

Between mitosis I and mitosis II, DNA replication does not occur. This absence of DNA replication means that the chromosomes, which have already been duplicated during the S phase prior to mitosis I, do not replicate again. As a result, when the cells divide during mitosis II, they separate the sister chromatids, leading to a reduction in chromosome number, effectively halving it from the original diploid state to haploid.


What happens to DNA before cell division in mitosis?

No, transcription is the process of creating an mRNA copy of the DNA in order to create a function process (by translation at the ribosomes). However, DNA does replicate before mitosis occurs - this is so that each daughter cell at the end of mitosis ends up with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell.


What process does the nucleic divide to form two identical nucleic?

Nucleic acids do not divide; rather, nucleic division typically refers to the process of mitosis or meiosis in cells, during which the cell's genetic material (DNA) is replicated and distributed into two identical (in mitosis) or genetically diverse (in meiosis) daughter cells. During DNA replication, the double helix unwinds, and each strand serves as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand, resulting in two identical DNA molecules. This process ensures that genetic information is accurately passed on during cell division.

Which process require prior DNA replication?

mitosis


What is DNA replication and what is its function?

DNA replication is the process in which the DNA is copied prior to mitosis. It's purpose is to prepare the cell for mitosis, which is the division of the nucleus into two identical daughter nuclei, usually followed by cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm.


In preparation for mitosis DNA is copied this is called DNA?

DNA is not copied during mitosis. It is copied in the portion of the cell cycle prior to mitosis during the S phase of interphase and is called DNA Replication.


Is mitosis directly involved in the process of DNA replication?

No, mitosis is not directly involved in the process of DNA replication. DNA replication occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle, which is separate from the process of mitosis. Mitosis is the division of the cell's nucleus into two identical daughter cells, while DNA replication is the process of copying the cell's genetic material.

What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?

Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.


When do chromosomes (DNA) replicate?

mitosis is the process by which the DNA of a cell is copied, so chromosomes replicated throughout the process


During which phase of mitosis is the DNA duplicated?

During the S phase of the cell cycle, which occurs before mitosis, the DNA is duplicated through the process of DNA replication.


What is copied before mitosis begins?

DNA, the genetic material, of course. Also mitochondria and chloroplasts need to divide. This is the process of mitosis where two daughter cells are produced and both will need the complete complement of genetic material; DNA.


Is DNA replication the same as mitosis?

No, DNA replication is the process of duplicating the DNA molecules, resulting in two identical copies. Mitosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that specifically involves the separation of replicated chromosomes into two identical daughter cells.


What process does not occur in the chromosome between mitosis 1 and mitosis 2 that causes the chromosome number to be reduced?

Between mitosis I and mitosis II, DNA replication does not occur.

As a result, when the cells divide during mitosis II, they separate the sister chromatids, leading to a reduction in chromosome number, effectively halving it from the original diploid state to haploid.


What is the process by which the cell makes the exact copy of its DNA?

you would want to look into mitosis. This process will explain more about the copying of DNA.
