Dna replication is the first step in what process for both eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells?
cell transfer
cell death
cell growth
cell division
1. The first step in eukaryotic cell division, as it is in prokaryotic cell division, is DNA replication. As you can see in Figure below , each chromosome then consists of two identical copies. The two copies are called sister chromatids. They are attached to each other at a point called the centromere.
