Why does each cell have 2 copies of each gene is it because when cell dived the copy the nucleus and the genes present in the nucleus?

Answer 1

Fertilisation

A copy comes from one each of the sperm and egg cell (animals). During meiosis, the genetic material is halved so that the gamete (sex cell) has half the genetic information in. During fertilisation, both these halves fuse to give 100% DNA, half from each parent. During mitosis, all of this information is copied exactly so that each daughter cell has the same DNA as the last. Hope that answers your question; if not, please let me know.

Piper Anderson

Each cell typically contains two copies of each gene because during cell division, the DNA in the nucleus is replicated, resulting in each daughter cell receiving a complete set of genetic information. This ensures genetic stability and allows for proper functioning of the cell's processes.

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.
