What is the advantage of the highly condensed state of the DNA of mitotic chromosomes?
a) The condensed state allows replication to occur more rapidly as the cell enters mitosis.
b) The highly condensed state favors delivery of an intact package of DNA to each daughter cell.
c) The condensed state favors DNA repair prior to mitosis.
d) This state allows gene expression needed during mitosis.
e) The condensed state allows chromosomes to fuse more easily.
Ans: b) The highly condensed state favors delivery of an intact package of DNA to each daughter cell.
