Document Summary

Sperm and eggs are male and female reproductive cells (gametes) All other cell types are referred to as somatic cells. Mitosis is the division of genetic material that produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to their parent cell. Mitosis is usually accompanied by cytokinesis (the division of cytoplasm into two daughter cells) Together, mitosis and cytokinesis are responsible for three key events: growth, wound repair, reproduction. Daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cell. Chromosomes consists of a single, long dna strand that is wrapped our proteins. A gene is a length of dna that codes for a particular protein or rna found in the cell. Discovery of gap phases: g1 phase occurs after m phase, but before s phase. In g1 phase, cell growth and duplication of organelles happen: lag in cell cycle between s phase and m phase cam to be known as the.
