Question
Chapter 8, Problem 3WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The importance of DNA replication, if the cell already contains all the genetic material required to synthesize cellular proteins
Introduction:
DNA replication is the process by which the genetic material of the organism copies itself to be distributed among the daughter cells during cell division. The DNA replication takes place before the cell division and prepares the cell for mitosis and meiosis.

- Which of the following best describes the difference between interphase and mitosis? a) During interphase, DNA has a loose structure that condenses during mitosis. b) During interphase, histones help compact DNA into chromosomes. And once mitosis starts, histones are destroyed. c) During interphase, DNA is tightly packed into chromosomes that uncoil once mitosis starts. d) During interphase, DNA is packed as chromosomes.

- 1. Which one explains the form of genetic material before nuclear division? a) Euchromatin b) Heterochromatin c) Chromatin d) Chromosomesarrow_forwardWhat are the function of chromatin?arrow_forwardHow does DNA replication occur in a precise manner to ensure that identical genetic information is put into the new chromatid? See Figures 8.12 and 8.13. FIGURE 8.12 In DNA replication, the two polynucleotide strands uncoil, and each is a template for synthesizing a new strand. A replicated DNA molecule contains one new strand and one old strand. This mechanism is called semiconservative replication. FIGURE 8.13 A close-up look at the process of DNA replication. (a) As the strands uncoil, bases are added to the newly synthesized strand by complementary base pairing with bases in the template strand. The new bases are linked together by DNA polymerase. (b) DNA synthesis can proceed only in the 5 3 direction; newly synthesized DNA on one template strand is made in short segments and linked together by the enzyme DNA ligase.arrow_forward
