What happens to the cell’s genetic information during the cell cycle?

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. And because During most of a cell's life cycle, DNA, along with proteins, is a mass of loose strands called chromatin (KROH-muh-tin). Before cell divion, DNA is duplicated, or copied. Then, in an early stage of cell division, the chromatin is compacted into visible structures called chromosomes (KROH-muh-sohmz).

Explanation:

the answers are as following:

1. c. double helix, nucleosome, coil, supercoil, chromosome

2. b. g2 phase, preparation for mitosis

3. d. interphase consists of the g1, s, and g2 phases

4. c. metaphase

5. a. chromosomes are duplicated before cell division so that each new daughter cell has a complete set
