CELL DAMAGE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following happens when a cell divides?
A
Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell’s DNA.
B
The cell has DNA overload.
C
It becomes more difficult for the cell to get enough oxygen and nutrients.
D
The cell’s volume increases.
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During mitosis, a cell duplicates all of its contents, including its chromosomes, and splits to form two identical daughter cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies-or ‘replicates’-its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

Detailed explanation-3: -In this case, human cells are diploid because they have two copies of each chromosome. When a human cell divides, it first duplicates its DNA from 46 chromosomes to 92 chromosomes. The parent cell then divides into two identical cells, each also diploid, and ends up with 46 chromosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following happens when a cell divides? Each daughter cell receives it’s own copy of the parent cell’s DNA.
