Document Summary
Although humans reproduce via sexual reproduction our body(somatic) cells propagate asexually. Chapter 9 the continuity of life cellular reproduction. Cell division: is required for growth, development and repair transmits hereditary information from parents cells to the daughter cells is required sexual and asexual reproduction. Where is the information found in the parental cells: the info. Is encoded in the dna that contain the genes. How is the dna in eukaryotic cells organized: eukaryotic chromosome consists of dna bound to proteins duplicated chromosomes separate during cell division eukaryotic chromosomes usually occur in pairs (homologous) What is a karyotype: organized display of the homologous pairs of chromosomes and the sex chromosomes. Two types of cell division in eukaryotic cells. What are the underlying cause of cancer: cancer is unregulated and uncontrolled cell division that is the reason why our understanding of the cell cycle is so important (i. e significance)
