Document Summary

Genetic information is encoded dna in genes carried on chromosomes; many genes on each chromosome. Structure of eukaryotic chromosomes: naked dna wound around histones to form nucleosomes (beads-on-a-string), solenoid or 30-nm chromatin fibre, looped domains. Genome: the total complement of genetic material (dna) in an organism"s cells. In which phase of the cell cycle is dna replicated: mitosis: during interphase before nuclear division begins, meiosis during interphase before nuclear division begins. Stages of mitosis (asexual reproduction): interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase. Position of chromosomes and stages of condensation in each stage. Fundamental differences between mitosis and meiosis: pairing of homologous chromosomes in meiotic division 1; two cell divisions: meiosis has four daughter cells each with half as many chromosomes as the mother cell. Genetically non identical to the mother cell: mitosis has 2 diploid daughter cells identical to mother. By segregation of different combinations of chromosomes & by crossing-over of genetic material from one homologous chromosome to another; chiasmata.
