Document Summary

Division of genetic material, producing 2 daughter cells w/ half the amount of hereditary material found in parent cell. Division of genetic material, producing 2 daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Basis of asexual reproduction; only produces somatic (body) cells. 3 key events in multicellular eukaryotes: growth, wound repair, cellular respiration. Has i) non-dividing phase: interphase ii) dividing phase: mitotic (m) phase. During interphase, dna in nucleus is w/ histones; dna then is called chromatin which can"t be distinguished. Consists of gap phases (g1 and g2) and synthesis (s) phase. G1 phase: no dna synthesis; before s phase; 7-9hrs. G2 phase: no dna synthesis; after s phase; 4-5hrs. Each of the 2 dna strands in a replicated is called a chromatid. Sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere, are exact copies of the same genetic info. 2 sister chromatids separate to form independent chromosomes; each copy goes to 2 new daughter cells.
