Document Summary

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells that are exact replicas of the parent cell. Most body cells are somatic cells (non-reproductive), usually with chromosomes present in pairs, the number of chromosomes is the diploid number (2n). The haploid chromosome number includes one of each chromosome pair (n) Gametes are produces from the germ-line, or reproductive cells. Meiosis produces gametes that have half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. Gametes are not identical to one another. Sex chromosomes determine sex and differ between genders. Discovery of the genes on the sex chromosomes (x chromosome) supported the chromosome theory of heredity. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces two genetically identical daughter cells from one original parental cell. It is precisely controlled to prevent either an excess or insuf cient number of cells. Cell division is regulated by control of the cell cycle, a cycle of dna replication and division. Cell cycles of all eukaryotes are similar.
