Document Summary

All image credit goes to freeman biology 6th edition. Cell division- new cell creation by division of old cells. Embryo- beginning stage of development, however, after fertilization/zygote formation. Meiosis(reduction division)- sexually reproducing organisms, diploid parent cell(2n) produces haploid cells(n)(gametes), creating half of chromosome number. Gamete- reproductive cell, haploid, fuses w/ other haploid cell to form zygote(diploid). Mitosis(somatic cells, cellular replication)- eukaryotic, nuclear division resulting in 2 daughter nuclei genetically identical to parent nucleus(leads to cytokinesis - cytoplasmic division - creating 2 daughter cells). Somatic cells - cells except for eggs, sperm. Cells replicate by: copying dna, separating copies, dividing cytoplasm creating 2 cells. Chromosome- gene carrying structure, single long double helix dna molecule w/ proteins(circular/singular in prokaryotic and vice versa). Histones- positively charged protein that dna is wrapped around in chromatin of eukaryotic cells. Gene- region of dna in chromosome coding for protein/rna. Chromatid- 1 of 2 identical, double stranded dnas, connected at centromere, composing a replicated chromosome.
