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.

FranBefore a cell can divide, it must go through a process called interphase where it grows, copies its DNA, and prepares to divide. This is followed by the actual cell division process, which includes mitosis (division of the nucleus) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm), resulting in two daughter cells with identical genetic material.
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.
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.

What can happen before a cell can go through mitosis?
it divides in two parts.
Why does a cell make a copy of its DNA defore it divides?
Because each cell needs its own set of DNA, there must be two sets of DNA present in a cell before it divides into two.
What happens to the chromosome before an animal cell divides?
The chromosomes have to split and go to opposite sides of the cell.
What does a cell do before it divides?
Before a cell divides, it undergoes a process called interphase, during which it grows, replicates its DNA, and carries out normal cellular functions. This ensures that the cell is prepared to divide and pass on its genetic material accurately to the daughter cells.
Why do chromosomes need to become 2 strands before the cell divides?
The second strand of a chromosome is a copy of the genetic information for that cell. There are 2 strands so that when the cell divides, there is one copy of each chromosome for each offspring cell.
