Document Summary

Chapter 8: cell cycles (pages 161 - 177) A complete set of genetic instruction (coded in dna cells) Activities of a cell from one cell division to the next. Cell grows adding more cytoplasmic constitutes: dna is replicated. Has transmitted a complete copy of genetic information. Mechanism of prokaryotic cell division is known as binary fission. Period b a cell grows for some time before entering dna synthesis. Replication of prokaryotic chromosome commences at the origin of replication (ori) in the middle of the cell where the enzymes for dna replication are located. Period c prokaryotic chromosome is replicated, the cell elongates and the chromosomes are separated to opposite ends of the cell. Period d the plasma membrane pinches together between them and two daughter cells are formed. Cell division of somatic (non-sex) cells is called mitosis. Contains almost all genetic information (mitosis only deals with chromatin [nuclear chromosomes])
