Document Summary

Cell division in identical daughter cells: cell organization. Replication of dna (meiosis - cell division of sperm and egg) Prokaryotes = 1 dna molecule & eukaryotes = multiple dna molecules. Replication and distribution of dna is possible due to chromosomes. Chromatin creates chromosomes: growth, repair, and fertilization. Somatic cells - non-reproductive (2 sets of chromosomes) Gametes - reproductive (1/2 as many of somatic: distribution of chromosomes. After replication: coils and becomes dense ->shorter. Each has sister chromatids, w/ centromere in between (even with separation, they"ll be considered chromosomes?) Separates and goes to new nuclei after division (becomes chromosomes) Goes into mitosis -> cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) Meiosis creates sperm and eggs, from daughter cells with 1 set of chromosomes. Somatic include all cells except gametes: mitosis creates exact replicas, whereas meiosis include 2 different cells and don"t create identical cells (sperm and egg) Mitotic phase interphase: phases of cell cycle. Mitotic phase (mitosis + cytokinesis: nucleus, cytoplasm.
