Which of the following must occur before mitosis can begin? A. DNA must be replicated in the nucleus

B. Chromosome must move to the center of the nucleus.

C. Chromosomes must attach to the cell membrane.

D. Ribosomes must move to opposite sides of the cell.

In order for mitosis to begin, DNA must be replicated in the nucleus.

Mitosis is known as equational division and results in daughter cells with the same ploidy as the parent cell.

Thus, in order for the two daughter cells to have the same ploidy level as the parent cell, the DNA of the parent cell has to first double before mitosis will begin.

Once the DNA of the parent cell has been doubled, mitosis can then proceed and each daughter cell will get a portion of the DNA each in their nuclei.

A. DNA must be replicated in the nucleus

Explanation:

Mitosis is a cell division in which two daughter cells, which are genetically identical to one another, are produced. Mitosis is key to the growth and development of every cell as it is the way cells multiply in a living organism.

However, before the commencement of the mitotic process or any division, the genetic material present in that cell must be duplicated in a process called DNA REPLICATION. DNA replication is the process whereby DNA on the chromosome is doubled in content in order for each resulting daughter cell to possess the same and correct number of chromosomes.

this species has a relatively low level of genetic

variation because the population was reduced to a small size approxi-

mately 10,000 to 12,000 years ago.

until   now,   we   have   primarily   focused   our   attention   on   genes  

within   individuals   and   their   related   family   members.   in   this  

chapter   and   chapters   25   and   26   ,   we   turn   to   the   study   of   genes   in  

a   population   or   species.   the   field   of

population   genetics

  is   con-

cerned   with   changes   in   genetic   variation   within   a   group   of   indi-

viduals   over   time.   population   geneticists   want   to   know   the   extent  

of   genetic   variation   within   populations,   why   it   exists,   and   how   it  

changes   over   the   course   of   many   generations.   the   field   of   popu-

lation   genetics   emerged   as   a   branch   of   genetics   in   the   1920s   and  

1930s.   its   mathematical   foundations   were   developed   by   theoreti-

cians   who   extended   the   principles   of   gregor   mendel   and   charles  

darwin   by   deriving   formulas   to   explain   the   occurrence   of   geno-

types   within   populations.   these   foundations   can   be   largely   attrib-

uted to three scientists: sir ronald fisher, sewall wright, and j. b. s.

haldane.   as   we   will   see,   support   for   their   mathematical   theories  

was provided by several researchers who analyzed the genetic com-

position   of   natural   and   experimental   populations.   more   recently,  

population   geneticists   have   used   techniques   to   probe   genetic  

variation   at   the   molecular   level.   in   addition,   staggering   advances  

in   computer   technology   have   aided   population   geneticists   in   the  

analysis   of   their   genetic   theories   and   data.   in   this   chapter,   we   will  

explore   the   genetic   variation   that   occurs   in   populations   and   con-

sider   the   reasons   why   the   genetic   composition   of   populations   may  

change over the course of several generations
