When a cell divides by mitosis the new cells are genetically identical. What causes the cells to be genetically identical?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Explanation:

Mitosis. Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells. The cell copies - or 'replicates' - its chromosomes, and then splits the copied chromosomes equally to make sure that each daughter cell has a full set.

When a cell suffers mitosis, it first duplicates and then separates. Unlike meiosis, during cell division, there is no crossing over. The daughter cell genetic charge remains exactly the same as the parental.

-------------------------------------

Mitosis is a process by which, from a diploid somatic cell (2n), two daughter diploid cells (2n) are produced.  

First occurs duplication of the cell content and then separation into two new cells happen.

Mitosis occurs in only one phase.

  • In the prophase, it occurs chromosomes condensation and nuclear membrane breaks.

  • During the metaphase, chromosomes are taken toward the center of the cell by the spindle apparatus. Once in the equatorial plane, chromosomes line up.

Each chromatid joins with a microtubule of opposites poles.

  • In Anaphase, bonds between chromatids break. They separate and migrate to the opposite poles.

  • In telophase, duplicated chromosomes are already in the corresponding poles, and the nuclear membrane forms again in each pole.  

  • Finally, cytokinesis occurs.

Note that, unlike meiosis, in mitosis, it does not occur crossing-over.

Crossing-over makes the daughter cells genetically different from the original one. As it does not occur during mitosis, daughter cells are identical to the original cell.
