Question

Which cellular processes require chromosomes to be in their uncondensed state? Select all that apply: Select one or more: a. transcription b. absorption of glucose from surrounding environment of cell c. DNA replication d. separation of chromatids into daughter cells e. cellular respiration

Answer 1

Answer:

Transcription and DNA replication are cellular processes in which chromosomes must be decondensed.  

Explanation:

In transcription, the transcription factors need to interact with promoter sequences and for this purpose they require DNA accessibility. Similarly, the DNA replication is another cellular process that also need accessibility for binding DNA polymerases
