Document Summary

Lecture 1: unicellular: bacteria and protists, multicellular: plants and animals, multicellular or unicellular: fungi and yeast, cells are the basic unit of life, cell division is the key element to life. Requires 3 things: replication of genetic material, accurate segregation of genetic material, division of cytoplasm v process must be controlled and responsive to. Environmental conditions: understanding cell cycle is key to fighting cancer. Binary fission: a simple form of asexual cell division, requires segregation and duplication of genetic material (which is found in the nucleoid: eukaryotes. Cell division by meiosis/mitosis: bacterial chromosome compaction. Less of problem in prokaryotes than eukaryotes due to prokaryotes being smaller. Chromosome must be compacted and twisted, along with complexed with proteins. Begins with formation of ftsz proteins, other protein follow this. Ftsz is found in most prokaryotes such as: Active for 19 hours a day after cell division: septation. G1: first gap phase, carry out metabolic activity (pre replication)
