What happens during the cell division process?

What happens during the cell division process?

Options

  1. ADNA replication and cell growth
  2. BCell growth only
  3. CDNA replication only
  4. DNone of the above

Correct answer

A. DNA replication and cell growth

Step-by-step solution

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 cell cycle. Although cell growth (in terms of cytoplasmic increase) is a continuous process, DNA synthesis occurs only during one specific stage in the cell cycle. The replicated chromosomes (DNA) are then distributed to daughter nuclei by a complex series of events during cell division. These events are themselves under genetic control
