Can there be DNA replication without cell division?

(ii) some haploid cells in higher plants where cell-division does not occur. Answer (i) Male bees, wasps and ants are haploid as they are produced from unfertilized eggs. (ii) Cell division does not happen in synergids and antipodal cells in ovule. 14. Can there be mitosis without DNA replication in S phase? read more

There can be DNA replication without cell division. During cell division, the parent cell gets divided into two daughter cells. However, if there is a repeated replication of DNA without any cell division, then this DNA will keep accumulating inside the cell. read more

Examples are there where a cell without dividing replicates and is evident from some yeast undergoing endomitosis (replication of chromosomes in the absence of cell or nuclear division), formation of polytene chromosome formation in the salivary glands of Drosophila melanogaster. Hope it helps. Thanks. read more

Amongst those stages S-phase (synthetic phase) is the stage in which DNA replication occurs. During cell division, in the late prophase those replicated DNA in the form of chromosomes become visible. This shows that DNA replication can also takes place without cell division. read more
