Transcription: When a body cell divides, each new daughter cell must carry with it identical genetic information. A cell does this through a process called mitosis. When cell division begins, the genetic code is replicated exactly and two identical sets of chromosomes are made from one. The membrane surrounding the nucleus becomes less distinct and the chromosomes become more distinct. Now we see there are pairs of chromosomes attached to each other at the center. Spindle fibers radiate and begin to form between the centrioles. The centrioles stop at opposite poles of the cell. The two identical parts of eac ...
