Cell cycle: series of cellular events leading to division and duplication (replication). How many mg of dna g1, how much is in dna g2. Mitosis: divides replicated dna equally and precisely in somatic cells. Required for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, such as animals, plants, and fungi. The number of sets of chromosomes is reduced to half the original number. Typically from two sets (diploid) to one set (haploid). Cytokinesis: is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells. Usually initiates during the late stages of mitosis, splitting a mitotic cell in two. Ploidy: the number of sets of chromosomes in the nucleus of a cell.
