Question

DNA stores a cell’s genetic information. During interphase, unwound chromosomes containing DNA replicate, forming an X-shape. This is still considered one chromosome, but now it has twice as much genetic material.
How does this help explain why daughter cells are identical after mitosis?

Answer 1

Daughter cells are identical after mitosis because they have a copy of the chromosome. Not sure if this helped though
:(

Answer 2

Because during mitosis one mother cell is divided to two daughter cells so we need to replicate the genetic material so we have the same number of chromosomes in both cells. so yeah that’s why they are identical/have the same genetic material. hope this helped
