5 Questions
What is the purpose of cellular division?
The purpose of cellular division is to produce new cells for growth and to replace damaged or old cells.
What is the difference between cellular division in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Cellular division differs in prokaryotes (bacteria) and eukaryotes (protists, fungi, plants, & animals).
Why is DNA replication necessary before cell division?
DNA replication is necessary before cell division in order to ensure that each new cell receives a complete set of DNA molecules.
What is the structure of prokaryotic chromosomes?
The DNA of prokaryotes (bacteria) is one circular chromosome attached to the inside of the cell membrane.
How many chromosomes do most eukaryotes have in their body cells?
Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells.
