Document Summary

Division of genetic material that produces daughter cells genetically identical to parents. Accompanies by cytokinesis (division into 2 separate cells) Division of genetical material to produce daughter cells with half of hereditary material found in the parent cell. Involved only in the production of gametes (eggs/sperm) Purpose of cell division: growth & development, asexual reproduction, repair. 2 copies of each essential to survive. Highly variable in number (eukaryotes 10-50) = human 46 (22 autosomal, 1 pair sex), silkworm. Process: dna double helix wrapped around histone proteins, tightly packed dna with histones, chromosome in extended form, condensation of chromosome = prep for mitosis/meiosis, entire mitotic chromosome (folded, more compact) Homologous chromosomes: same arrangement of genes (not combined by centromere) Sister chromatids: replicated gene, attached by centromere (identical) Where cell spends most of its life. G1: parent cell has 2 unreplicated chromosomes, most of cell"s growth. S phase & g2: 2x dna because replication and synthesis occurs.

Carefully read the following statements about cell division (1) After meiosis, the number of chromosomes in the newly formed cell is the same as that in the parent cell. Whereas, in mitosis, the chromosome number in daughter cell is reduced to half. (2) Cytokinesis is a highly regulated event in which cellular organelles are evenly distributed forming two daughter cells. (3) In Meiosis, DNA replication occurs only once whereas the cells divide twice and it is the mechanism that produces genetic variation in daughter cells. (4) In diplotene, chiasmata are formed between homologous chromosomes followed by crossing over and segregation of sister chromatids. (5)The kinetochore is a DNA protein complex which serves as the attachment point for spindle fibers. Which of the above statement or combination of statements is correct?
