QUESTION:
Write About a Theme: INFORMATION Continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100150 words), explain how the process of mitosis faithfully parcels out exact copies of this heritable information in the production of genetically identical daughter cells.
ANSWER:The process of mitosis is essential for the continuity of life. It is the process by which cells divide and replicate genetic material, ensuring that the same heritable information is passed on from generation to generation.
Mitosis starts with a cell's chromosomes lining up along the center of the cell. They then divide in two, so that two identical copies of the chromosomes are present in each daughter cell that is created from the parent cell. As part of this process, molecular machinery is involved which s
