What has to happen before a cell divides?

Answer 1

It will go through mitosis and interphase. During interphase the cell grows, replicates DNA and prepares for cell division. then during mitosis it has to through four stages. prophase,metaphase,anphase,and telophase. During these four stages chromosomes duplicate, nucleus begins to divide, chromatids attach to the spindle fibers, chromatids separate and begin to move opposite ends of the cell, two nucei form, and finally the cell membrane moves inward to create two identical cells-each with it's own nucleus with identical chromosomes.

Answer 2

Cell division is a process known as mitosis. There are six stages in a cell's life: Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telephase and Cytokinesis. Cells need to replicate the chromsomes in their nucleus, as well as create a copy of the nucleus itself. Then, the strands of chromosomes move to the oppposite ends of the parent cell, then split off into two daughter cells.

Answer 3

Before a cell divides it goes through a stage once known as the resting phase but now is called interphase. Then it goes through prophase which is when the separate chromatids link to form chromosomes. That is the first stage of mitosis or cell division.

Answer 4

A cell needs to have two copies of its DNA that have condensed into chromosomes in the form of sister chromatids. It needs microtubules to attach to the sister chromatids and choreograph the separation of the two sets of sister chromatids into two separate parts of the cell with identical sets of DNA.

Answer 5

It must make a copy of its deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).

Answer 6

It must copy its chromosomes.
