Before a cell enters mitosis, what happens to the genetic information in that cell? a. the information is selectively mutated. b. the information is completely changed. c. the information is duplicated. d. the information is halved. reset submit

The correct answer will be option-C

Explanation:

Mitosis is a smaller phase of the cell division cycle which accounts for the only one-hour duration in mammals.

Before the Mitotic phase, the duration of the cell cycle is divided into three phases which are G₁, S and G₂ phases.

During S phase or synthesis phase, the genomic part of organisms gets duplicated or replicated by the process of DNA replication. During S phase, since the genetic content of the organisms gets doubled therefore DNA is thought to be called duplicated.

Thus, Option-C is the correct answer.

the diploid number of chromosomes is sometimes represented by the symbol 2n. for the fruit fly, the diploid number is 8, which can be written as 2n = 8, where n represents twice the number of chromosomes in a sperm or egg cell.
