Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

DNA replication is needed for ____

A	mitosis only
B	meiosis
C	mitosis & meiosis
D	either mitosis or meiosis depending on the type of cell.

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -In both mitosis and meiosis the replication of DNA and chromosomes occurs at the same stage.

Detailed explanation-2: -Replication is an essential process because, whenever a cell divides, the two new daughter cells must contain the same genetic information, or DNA, as the parent cell.

Detailed explanation-3: -Meiosis begins with DNA replication, followed by a pairing of the maternal and paternal chromosomes (homologous pairing) and an exchange of genetic material between chromosomes by recombination (Fig. 1.1. 5).
