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.

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.


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.


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.


What is the term process of chromosomal DNA being duplicated?

Chromosomes duplicate in a process called mitosis.


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.


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 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.


Which of these terms would NOT be associated with DNA during mitosis?

Replication would not be associated with DNA during mitosis.
