Document Summary

Cell theory: all organisms are composed of cells (excluding viruses, all cells come from other cells. There are 2 processes: replication of genome (dna, cellular vision (cytokinesis) Diploid cells have 2 copies of dna (2n) Haploid cells have 1 copy of dna (n) Divide by mitosis and produce 2 genetically identical daughet cells, ex, tissue growth. Divide by meiosis produce 4 genetically distinct haploid daughter cells. Produce gametes, always produces haploid cells from diploid cells (2n n) A single individual is the only parent (parent cell) All gene copies of the parent cell are passed to its offspring (2 daughter cells) Cell growth and replication of dna: mitotic phase. G1 s (dna synthesis) g2 mitosis cytokinesis. A typical human cell has 2 meter of dna (250,000x greater than the cell"s diameter! Before cell can divide, it must copy its dna then separate those two copies. To make these tasks manageable, dna molecules are packaged into chromosomes.
