During replication, DNA molecules separate into single strands, which are then used to construct two identical strands of DNA, one old and one new. This process ensures that the -

-two new cells are genetically identical to the parent cell.
-parent cell may reabsorb the strands if necessary.
-parent cells use little ATP in the process
-new cells created will have genetic diversity unlike the parent cell.

prophase: we can observe the chromosomes to coil up and condense. they become visible. nuclear membrane and envelope disintigrate.s

metaphase: chromosomes align at the center, the metaphase plate. spindle fibers attach to centromeres of the sister chromatids. they meet at kinetochores.

anaphase: sister chromatids are pulled towards each opposing centromere, set on different poles.

telophase: chromosomes are now clustered up only on either sides of the cell. nuclear membranes reform, and a new cell wall forms along the cell plate. this will lead to cytokinesis, the process that divides the cell membrane and forms the cell wall.

true is the

the answer is cell division : )
