Document Summary

The ability of organisms to reproduce best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division. In unicellular organisms, division of one cell reproduces the entire organism. Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for: Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from formation to its own division. Cell division results in genetically identical daughter cells. Most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, dna. Cell grows - splits in half cell grows - splits in half and so on. A special type of division produces nonidentical daughter cells (gametes, or sperm and egg cells, or spores) All the dna in a cell constitutes the cell"s genome. A genome can consist of a single dna molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of dna molecules (common in eukaryotic cells)
