Because otherwise you'd have half the information in one of the daughter nuclei and the other half in the other daughter nucleus.

What happens to the info before the cell divides?

Your DNA is copied into the new cell every time it divides


Why is DNA copied in the process of replication?

DNA replication occurs because there need to be two identical copies of DNA before the nucleus of the cell divides, so that each new nucleus has a complete and identical copy of DNA.


Why does genetic information have to be copied in the nucleus?

The nucleus is an important cell part, so if it separates ,it needs to copy information or else the nucleus will become useless.


What allows the genetic materials for genes to give instructions and be copied before a cell divides?

The structure of DNA allows two functions to occur


When is a bacterium's circular chromosome copied?

A bacterium's circular chromosome is copied during a process called DNA replication. This typically occurs before the bacterium divides through binary fission to ensure that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic information.


What enables DNA to be copied?

Before a cell divides, its DNA is replicated (duplicated.) Because the two strands of a DNA molecule have complementary base pairs, the nucleotide sequence of each strand automatically supplies the information needed to produce its partner.


Where in the cell is DNA copied?

DNA is copied in the cell nucleus. This process is called DNA replication and occurs during the S phase of the cell cycle.


Where is genetic information stored and copied?

the nucleus stores all the genetic information (DNA)


Why can't prokaryotic cells undergo mitotic division?

Mitotic division is the includes division of nucleus and it divides the cell into two daughter cell whereas the prokaryotic cell don't have nucleus and they are divided through the process of binary fission


Where is DNA copied?

DNA is copied in the cell nucleus during a process called DNA replication. This process involves the separation of the DNA strands, the synthesis of new complementary strands, and the formation of two identical copies of the original DNA molecule.


Why must genes be copied each time a cell divides?

Because when a cell divides it creates something like a mirror image and to do this it needs to copy the most important part of the cell the nucleus (which holds the DNA) and that will determine what the cell needs to do.


What do you mean by hyper chromatic cancer cells?

When a scientist is looking at cells under the microscope, they often use a stain or a dye so they can see things more clearly. Inside each cell, there is a nucleus. This is where genetic information is stored. Each time a new cell is made, this information is copied. Cancer cells grow and replicate a lot faster than normal cells, so this information is getting copied a lot faster. Hyperchromatic means that the nucleus looks really dark under the microscope. This is typical of cancer cells because the nucleus is in such an active state.
