Question

Which process causes all cells to have the same DNA?

A. replication
B. translation
C. transcription
D. protein synthesis

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

A. replication

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA replication is the process of copying a DNA molecule to produce two identical DNA molecules. This process is essential for cell division, as each new cell must have an exact copy of the DNA in the parent cell. Therefore, DNA replication ensures all cells in an organism have the same DNA.

Translation, transcription, and protein synthesis are processes related to gene expression where the information in the DNA is used to produce proteins, not the replication of the entire DNA molecule itself.
