Mitosis, DNA Structure / Replication Review

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.

Front

What is the purpose of DNA replication?

Back

The purpose of DNA replication is to duplicate all the DNA for future daughter cells.

Front

Where is DNA found in eukaryotic cells?

Back

In eukaryotic cells, DNA is found in the nucleus.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced by mitosis?

Back

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells.

Front

What enzyme is responsible for adding complementary bases during DNA replication?

Back

The enzyme responsible for adding complementary bases during DNA replication is DNA polymerase.

Front

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase is the enzyme that unwinds and separates the two strands of DNA during replication.

Front

What is cytokinesis?

Back

Cytokinesis is the process that follows mitosis, where the cytoplasm of a parental cell divides into two daughter cells.

Front

What are chromosomes?

Back

Chromosomes are long, thread-like structures made of DNA and proteins that contain genetic information.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands of nucleotides twisted around each other.
