Because it has to duplicate itself before it goes through the process of mitosis.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
Chromosomes duplicate during the S phase of interphase, which occurs before mitosis. Each chromosome replicates to form two identical sister chromatids that are held together at the centromere. These sister chromatids are then separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis.
Before mitosis, cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, which means they have 46 chromosomes in humans. After mitosis, the daughter cells also have a diploid number of chromosomes, so they also have 46 chromosomes.
Mitosis is important for a developing baby as it allows for cell division and growth, enabling the baby to increase in size and add complexity to its developing tissues and organs. This process ensures that the baby's body can form and mature properly before birth.
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.
Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA)
The chromosomes are copied, so that each daughter cell has an exact copy of the genetic material.
Chromosomes migrate to the equator of the cell and arrange themselves during the metaphase stage of mitosis. This stage occurs after prophase and before anaphase, and is characterized by the alignment of chromosomes in a single plane at the center of the cell.
It occurs before mitosis, in the S-phase (synthesis) of interphase.
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
in mitosis, the nucleus divides first, and then the cytoplasm.
Chromosomes duplicate during the S phase of interphase, which occurs before mitosis. Each chromosome replicates to form two identical sister chromatids that are held together at the centromere. These sister chromatids are then separated and pulled to opposite poles of the cell during mitosis.
DNA replication before mitosis ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information. This is critical for maintaining genetic stability and ensuring that each new cell has the necessary genetic instructions to function properly.
There is no DNA of mitosis. Before mitosis, the DNA must be replicated, which occurs during interphase of the cell cycle.
Before mitosis, cells have a diploid number of chromosomes, which means they have 46 chromosomes in humans. After mitosis, the daughter cells also have a diploid number of chromosomes, so they also have 46 chromosomes.
Meiosis is very similar to mitosis. Meiosis produces two "half-cells" after the first cell division. Mitosis, however produces two fully genetically capable cells. After mitosis, the cell products can reproduce by themselves. Meiosis is a "modified" version of mitosis, meant for genetic diversity. Mitosis probably existed way before meiosis, simply because it is easier to execute. Meiosis produces what is called a gamete. These gametes, or 'sex cells' cannot reproduce by themselves. These half-cells are meant to be combined with the complementary gamete (egg with sperm) to maximize genetic diversity and promote evolution. Mitosis is the simplified version of meiosis, and meiosis is the "modified" mitosis. You often find mitosis in simple organisms, meant solely for reproduction purposes. Meiosis is more common in evolutionarily advanced organisms, such as mammals.
