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 phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle do microtubules arrange in preparation for mitosis?

they are produced by centrosome and they bind to the centromeres of sister chromatids during metaphase pulling each sister chromatid opposite sides so each daughter cell would contain one of them. mitotic division doesnt proceeds before microtubules bind to each centromere


Why doesnt DNA rip during cell division?

DNA doesn't rip during cell division due to several protective mechanisms. Firstly, DNA is tightly coiled and packaged into structures called chromosomes, which helps prevent damage. Additionally, the cell has sophisticated repair systems that can quickly address any potential breaks or errors in the DNA. Finally, during cell division, the processes of replication and separation are highly regulated, ensuring that the DNA is correctly duplicated and distributed to daughter cells without tearing.


Is adding repeats of DNA at the ends of chromosome a kind of mutation?

technicly yes, and it may affect the action of the telemorase, but don't forget, even if a mutation doesnt do anything, that doesnt mean it isn't a mutation. most mutations are silent (have no effect).


Why must daughter cells be identical to the parent cell?

In Mitosis it is important that the daughter cells be identical to the parent cell because if it isn't a mutation will occur. For instance, if a skin cell undergoes mitosis and doesn't produce an exact copy for the daughter cell, the mutated daughter cell could now give rise to skin cancer.


Does zinc sulphate contain nitrogen in it?

No, zinc sulfate does not contain nitrogen in its chemical structure. Zinc sulfate is a compound composed of zinc, sulfur, and oxygen atoms. It is commonly used as a zinc supplement or in various industrial applications.
