DNA replication occurs prior to meiosis and _________.

A. Mitosis is the correct answer.

DNA replication occurs in the two major types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis.

Mitosis is the splitting of a normal cell into two daughter cells and involves complete replication of the cells DNA to produce two identical copies. Meiosis is a specialised and more complex two-stage form of cellular division related to sex cells and involves DNA replication followed by an exchange of DNA material within/between the chromosomes to mix genes from both parents and produce daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the original parent cell. Animal sperms and eggs are examples of cells produced by meiosis and contain half the number of chromosomes as normal cells. When combined during fertilization the egg and sperm produce a cell with the full compliment of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is a part of the cellular life cycle that is related specifically to the division of the cytoplasm (basically the "soup" of material inside the cell). It is part of the cellular division process but not specifically related to nuclear division (i.e. DNA replication).

Transcription relates to the production of RNA from DNA which is then used for protein synthesis. DNA is not replicated during the transcription process, rather, this is a separate process critical for the production of proteins by the cell.

Fantom [35]

The west Nile Virus is pathogen which caused the West Nile fever and encephalitis. The pathogen was introduced in 1999 in the Western Hemisphere and infected a major population in new york. It then expanded to 12 states and district of columbia. The major carrier of the pathogen was Avian and Mosquitoes species. In between 1999 to 2008, nearly 2500000 people were infected and nearly 1500 people died. Also there were thousands of cases of encephalitis or meningitis.

Plss answer all! Help!

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

there are two types of cell one eukaryotic cell that have true nucleus (genetic material enclosed in membrane) and membrane bounded organelles and other is prokaryotic cell that donot have have true nucleus (genetic material dispersed in cytoplasm) and membrane bounded organelles.

similarities between PC and EC is that both contains cell membrane, ribosomes (not a membrane bounded organelle) .

examples of PC are bacteria , paramecium,fungi etc

examples of EC are plant and animal cells

there are two names for cell membrane i.e plasmalemma, cell surface membrane,

selectively permeable or semipermeable means cell only allows those material to pass through its cell membrane which it needs.this cell'ability is important because to protection against the poisonous substance and to maintain cell needs .

Anna11 [10]

Cellulose is a straight chain polysaccharide which is made up of glucose molecules that are joined together by beta 1,4 glycosidic bonds. Cellulose is the principal structural material of plants and plants use it to build strong structures. For instances, the rigid cell wall of plant cells is made up of cellulose.
Thus, the correct option is D.
