cell with 1 set of DNA

cell with 1 set of chromosomes

c)

cell with 2 sets of chromosomes

d)

cell with 2 sets of DNA

8.

Why is it important that an exact copy of the original DNA is made before mitosis?

a)

So the cell does not die.

b)

So the organism can mutate and develop new traits.

c)

So the new daughter cells are different from the parent cell.

d)

So the new daughter cells are the same as the parent cell.

9.

Why would it be important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis?

a)

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

b)

In order for the cell to be able to increase in size.

c)

In order for the DNA to be contained in the nucleus.

d)

In order for the cell to re-order the DNA sequencing in the new cells.

10.

In DNA replication, how do DNA strands pair up?

a)

A new strand pairs up with a new strand.

b)

An old strand pairs up with an old strand.

c)

An old strand pairs up with a new strand.
