Then it would not have enough copies of chromosomes to give the right amount to the daughter cells. This may result in half the daughter cells receiving the DNA and half receiving no DNA - or else...

Does the parent cell still exist during cytokinesis?

Yes, the parent cell still exists during cytokinesis. Cytokinesis is the final stage of cell division where the cytoplasm is divided into two daughter cells. Once cytokinesis is completed, the parent cell has effectively given rise to two new daughter cells.


Chromosomes in the parent cell what before they divide into daughter?

Chromosomes in the parent cell duplicate during the S phase of the cell cycle before they divide into daughter cells through mitosis or meiosis. Each daughter cell receives an identical set of chromosomes from the parent cell.


A cell with a diploid number of 20 undergoes meiosis. this will produce?

It will have 4 daughter cells and 10 chromosome per daughter cell because the number of chromosomes you start with is doubled and then divided by four.


Which chromosomes are found in a daughter cell?

A daughter cell will typically contain a full set of chromosomes that are a combination of the parent cell's chromosomes after cell division. The exact number and composition of chromosomes will depend on whether the cell underwent mitosis or meiosis.


Why does cell division doesn't lead to daughter cells that only contain half the information of their parent cells?

Cell division or Mitosis generates 2 cells that are identical to the parent cell. yes conceptually, the parent is essentially divided in half, but before that event, the DNA, or the 'information' is duplicated so to generate 2 identical copies of the DNA or 'information'. thus, one copy for each daughter cell. the daughter cells do start out smaller then the parent, but then do grow in size and become identical in information and size to the parent.

What is parent ionization energy?

It is the energy that is needed for ionization to happen. The parent ion is the ion before ionization, after it is known as the daughter ion


What process MUST happen in the parent cell before it divides?

The parent cell must undergo DNA replication to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information during cell division. This process ensures that each daughter cell contains the same genetic material as the parent cell.

A parent died leaving her estate to her daughter. The daughter subsequently died without a will. How is the estate divided?

In the US:The property that the daughter inherited from her parent would pass to the daughter's heirs-at-law under the laws of intestacy. You can check the laws in your state at the related question link provided below.


How is The actual separation or division of the parent cell called?

The actual separation or division of the parent cell is called cytokinesis. This is the process where the cytoplasm of the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells following the completion of mitosis.

How many cells are created in meiosis?

At the end of Meiosis there are 4 daughter cells.


How do the daughter cells compare to parent cells?

Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.


How are daughter and parent cells alike?

Daughter and parent cells are alike in that they both contain genetic material and are part of the same cell division process. Daughter cells are formed from the division of parent cells and generally inherit similar characteristics from the parent cell.


What is the relationship between the parent cell and daughter cell after mitosis?

Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.
