Question

Which statement best describes the process by which the millions of body cells that form a housefly can all contain the same genetic information?

A. Original dna is duplicated during replication and then distributed into two cells.

B. Original
RNA is duplicated during replication and then distributed into two cells.

C. Original dna is duplicated during replication and then distributed into four new cells.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A. Original DNA is duplicated during replication and then distributed into two cells.

The process in the question is MITOSIS. Mitosis is an equational cell division which produces two identical daughter cells. During interphase of cell cycle, DNA replication occurs which results into two copies of genetic information that are identical to the original DNA and are distributed into two new cells. The millions of body cells formed by mitosis.
