Question

chromosome duplication occurs prior to both mitosis and meiosis.
true or false
true false

Explanation:

In both mitosis and meiosis, the cell goes through interphase before the division process. During interphase (specifically the S - phase), chromosome duplication (DNA replication) occurs. This duplication ensures that when the cell divides (either mitotically to produce two identical daughter cells or meiotically to produce gametes), each new cell has the appropriate amount of genetic material. So chromosome duplication does occur prior to both mitosis and meiosis.

Answer:

True
