Document Summary

Cell division involves an orderly sequence of events in which cell duplicates its (cid:272)o(cid:374)te(cid:374)ts a(cid:374)d di(cid:448)ides i(cid:374) t(cid:449)o (cid:862)(cid:272)ell (cid:272)y(cid:272)le(cid:863) Details of (cid:272)ell (cid:272)y(cid:272)le (cid:448)ary (cid:449)ith orga(cid:374)is(cid:373), a(cid:374)d differe(cid:374)t ti(cid:373)es i(cid:374) a(cid:374) orga(cid:374)is(cid:373)(cid:859)s life. Unicellular: generates complete new organism (bacteria, yeast, protozoa) Metazoans: many cell divisions required to generate new organism from fertilized egg. Replicated dna must be accurately distributed (segregated) to daughter cells. Most cells also duplicate their other macromolecules and organelles and double in size before they divide. Division of genetic material that produces daughter cells genetically identical to parent cell. Usually accompanied by cytokinesis, division of the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. Division of genetic material to produce daughter cells with half the hereditary material found in the parent cell. Involved only in the production of gametes (eggs and sperm) Basis of sexual reproduction and genetic inheritance. Cell division is essential for key events in eukaryotes. Growth & development (human embryo) asexual reproduction (yeast)
