Document Summary

Cells needs for survival: dna, production of molecules, processes, genetic instructions. Cell division occurs for: growth, repair, and development. Characteristics of a prokaryotic cell: no nucleus, no membrane bound organelles, cell division is called binary fission. Prokaryotic chromosome becomes a circular loop, which attaches to one point on membrane 2 . chromosome is replicated (replicated chromosome attaches to membrane near other one) 3. Cell elongates plasma membrane is added between chromosomes, pushing them towards opposite ends 4. plasma membrane grows inward, and it is divided into daughter cells. Characteristics of a eukaryotic cell: -membrane bound organelles, dna in nucleus, somatic cell division (mitosis), nucleus contains most dna (except mitochondria and chloroplasts) Chromosomes: long thread-like, condensed during mitosis, made up of dna and protein. Chromatin: proteins are bound to dna for : protectiong, packaging, duplication, regulation, modification, dna + bound protein = chromatin, uncondensed form. Ploidy: the number of pairs of chromosomes in cells ex.
