What is the nuclear DNA content of each daughter cell after mitosis?
a. Half as that of mother cell
b. Same as that of mother cell
c. ¼ as that of mother cell
d. Double as that of mother cell
Answers
the answer B is correct 'The same as' is correct.
Explanation:
Mitosis is the cell division which takes places in the cells of the whole body other than the cells that produce the gamete.
Before mitosis the genetic material of the cell is duplicated so that when the cell undergoes division the genetic material of the cell is equally divided and given to both of the daughter cells at the time of separation of the chromosomes that is the anaphase.
After the cell division is over both the daughter cells will have the same number of chromosomes as that of the mother.
Therefore the answer option 'The same as' is correct.
- Mitosis is the equational division.
The daughter cells that are formed have the same DNA content as that of the mother cell.
So the correct answer will be option b.
- Mitosis has 4 phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
1)In prophase the chromosomes get condensed.
2)In metaphase the chromosomes get aligned at the center.
3)In anaphase the chromosomes get split into chromatids.
4)In telophase, the chromosomes get uncoiled again.
