Before a cell enters mitosis, what happens to the genetic information in that cell?

Answer 1

The genetic material, DNA, must undergo replication before a cell enters mitosis. DNA replication results in two identical copies of the DNA.

DNA replication is the process in which two identical copies of DNA are produced during the S phase of the cell cycle before mitosis occurs.The purpose of mitosis is to produce two identical daughter nuclei, each having identical DNA produced during DNA replication, which will then be separated into two genetically identical cells called daughter cells, during cytokinesis.

Before a cell enters mitosis, its genetic information, which is contained in chromosomes in the nucleus, is duplicated during the S phase (Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle. This results in two identical sets of chromosomes, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
