4 0

The answer is C. This is because, with every mitotic division, the cell population doubles because each cell gives rise to two daughter cells. Therefore, mathematically, after 4 division of one cell, there will end up with 16 cells (2^4).

How do the process of DNA replication and the laws of inheritance help cells and individuals pass on their
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer/Explanation:

DNA replication doubles each chromosome, meaning the cell can pass on DNA to daughter cells - the duplicated DNA is divided equally between the two new cells formed from the parent.

The laws of inheritance are:

1) The Law of Dominance: An organism with alternate forms of a gene, called alleles, will always display the form that is dominant, masking the recessive trait.

2) The Law of Segregation: In a diploid genome, like most eukaryotes, each trait is defined by a pair of genes (alleles). Each allele is randomly passed on to the gametes so that each gamete only contains one allele.   The offspring inherits one allele from each parent during the process of fertilization.

2) The Law of Independent Assortment: Genes for different traits are sorted independently from one another That is, the inheritance of one trait does not depend on the inheritance of another trait. so that the inheritance of one trait is not dependent on the inheritance of another.
