Question

Which of these events happens immediately before cell division occurs? A. The cells genetic material is copied
B. The cells surface area to volume ration increases
C. The cells volume decreases more than its surface area
D. The cells DNA is distributed evenly throughout the cell

Answer 1

Answer:

A The cells genetic material is copied

Explanation:

Cell division is the process by which a single cell divides into two daughter cells. Each daughter cell needs to inherit an entire copy of the genetic material, therefore, before cell division occurs, the DNA is replicated. This allows the cell to divide the genetic material between two daughter cells, such that each cell inherits the complete genome.
