Two daughter cells with different DNA may represent a mutation or an error during cell division. This can lead to genetic variation and potentially cause abnormalities or changes in the characteristics of the cells.
Yes, daughter cells have DNA. During cell division, the DNA in the parent cell is replicated and then evenly distributed between the two daughter cells. This allows each daughter cell to have a complete set of DNA for normal cellular functions and genetic information.
The DNA in two daughter bacterial cells is identical to the DNA in the parent cell. During binary fission, the parent cell's DNA is replicated and distributed equally between the two daughter cells, ensuring they have the same genetic information.
Yes, at the end of mitosis, the daughter cells have the same DNA as the mother cell. Each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the original cell's DNA.
In mitosis, there is an equal amount of DNA present in the parent cell and the two daughter cells. This is because DNA replication occurs before mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.
If the parent cell did not make a copy of its DNA before dividing, the daughter cells would not receive a complete set of genetic information. This could lead to genetic abnormalities and potential cell dysfunction. The daughter cells may not be viable or may have impaired function due to the incomplete genetic material.
