Document Summary

States that all cells arise from preexisting cells. This occurs by the division of the original cell (parent cell) into two separate. An integral part of the cell cycle. Before they divide, ensuring that each daughter cell receives an exact copy of the genetic material, dna. An average eukaryotic cell has about 1000 times more dna than an average prokaryotic cell. The dna is an eukaryotic cell is organized into several linear chromosomes, whose organization is much more complex than the single, circular dna molecule in a prokaryotic cell. All eukaryotic cells store genetic information in chromosomes. Most eukaryotes have between 10 and 50 chromosomes in their body cells. Composed of a complex dna and protein called chromatin that condenses during cell division. Dna exists as a single, long, double stranded fiber extending chromosome"s entire length.
