What else can I help you with?
Why must cells be able to both transcribe and replicate their DNA?
The DNA only needs to replicate if the cell is going to divide. In a dividing cell the DNA must replicate in order to provide a complete copy of the genome to each new cell.
Both viruses and cells are able to replicate their genetic material What is the main difference in their replication processes?
The main difference is that viruses rely on a host cell's machinery to replicate their genetic material, while cells have their own machinery to replicate their DNA. Viruses insert their genetic material into a host cell and hijack its replication machinery, whereas cells replicate their DNA through processes like DNA polymerase and cellular organelles.
Do cells replicate or copy their DNA before going through meiosis?
Yes. The DNA is replicated during interphase before prophase I.
How does DNA replicate itself when cells divide?
The DNA double helix is unwound and each strand acts as a template for a new double helix.
Why must two strands of parental DNA separate?
in order to replicate to create more DNA. this is required in order to make more cells
How does the cell replicate DNA?
Cells do not replicate "In DNA". Cells replicate their DNA during the process of cell division.
Why is it necessary the cell copies its DNA?
cells must copy their DNA to replicate
How is DNA different between somatic and germ cells?
in germ cells, the DNA(Deinoribo Nucliec Acid) is more of a circular shape.in most other organisms, the DNA is in the familier double helix structure
Why is is important for DNA to replicate?
It is important for The creation of new cells.

The ability of cells to pass on their characteristics to new cells is most directly related to the ability of?
Cells to replicate their DNA accurately during cell division. When a cell divides, it must replicate its DNA to pass on genetic information to the new cells. Errors in DNA replication can lead to mutations and changes in characteristics passed on to new cells.
Where are mitochondria constructed?
They are not built. They replicate themselves in cells
Why is it necessary for the germ line to become separated at such an early stage of development?
Separating the germ line early ensures that only germ cells contribute to the formation of the next generation while somatic cells make up the rest of the body. This helps maintain the integrity of genetic information passed on to offspring and prevents the transmission of mutations or acquired changes from somatic cells to future generations. Additionally, early separation allows germ cells to develop independently and specialize for their reproductive function.
Do cells replicate or copy their DNA before going through meiosis?
Yes. The DNA is replicated during interphase before prophase I.
Who was August weisman?
August Weisman was was a German biologist. He came up with the germ plasma theory, which states that the body is divided in germ cells, which can transmit information dealing with DNA, and somatic cells, which cannot.
What is the reason for cancer?
Mutations in the DNA, which can either be spontaneous or caused by a carcinogen. Occurs on vital parts of a cells DNA, causing it to then replicate uncontrollably.
