NEETBotanyCell Cycle and Cell Division
How are replicated chromosomes distributed to daughter nuclei during cell division?
Options
- ABy a simple process
- BBy a complex series of events
- CBy the process of cell growth
- DBy the process of DNA replication
Correct answer
B. By a complex series of events
Step-by-step solution
Cell division is a very important process in all living organisms. During the division of a cell, DNA replication and cell growth also take place. All these processes, i.e., cell division, DNA replication, and cell growth, hence, have to take place in a coordinated way to ensure correct division and formation of progeny cells containing intact genomes. The sequence of events by which a cell duplicates its genome, synthesises the other constituents of the cell and eventually divides into two daughter cells is termed
