MEIOSIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
you are observing a mammal’s cell under a microscope. The cell appears to be dividing, without having first replicated its DNA. Which process is the cell most likely undergoing?
A
mitosis
B
meiosis
C
mutation
D
multiplication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The process that requires DNA to undergo duplication before it can proceed is cell division. In multicellular eukaryotes, there are two types of cell division, mitosis and meiosis.

Detailed explanation-2: -The cell cycle has two major phases: interphase and the mitotic phase (Figure 6.3). During interphase, the cell grows and DNA is replicated. During the mitotic phase, the replicated DNA and cytoplasmic contents are separated and the cell divides.

Detailed explanation-3: -During interphase, the cell grows and makes a copy of its DNA.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells. It occurs concurrently with two types of nuclear division called mitosis and meiosis, which occur in animal cells.
