|
|
so each daughter cell will have 23 chromosomes
|
|
|
so each daughter cell will have a complete copy of the genetic material
|
|
|
so each daughter cell will have 46 homologous chromosomes
|
|
|
so each daughter cell will have 2 sister chromatides
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Cells must replicate their DNA before they can divide. This ensures that each daughter cell gets a copy of the genome, and therefore, successful inheritance of genetic traits. DNA replication is an essential process and the basic mechanism is conserved in all organisms.
Detailed explanation-2: -The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA duplication during S phase of the cell cycle allows cells to maintain their genetic content across generations. The primary function of sister chromatids is to pass on a complete set of chromosomes to all the daughter cells formed as a result of cell division.
