Document Summary

Cell cycle: series of events in cell leading to its duplication that produced daughter cells. Mitosis: it"s (cid:374)u(cid:272)lea(cid:396) di(cid:448)isio(cid:374) (cid:449)hi(cid:272)h p(cid:396)odu(cid:272)es 2 ide(cid:374)ti(cid:272)al daughte(cid:396) (cid:272)ells. Chromosome: structure of nucleic acids & proteins found in nucleus of living cells which carry genetic information in the form of genes. Each chromosome is made of dna tightly coiled around proteins called histones that supports its structure. Females have 2 x-chromosomes & males have an x & y chromosome. Haploid: cell has half the number of chromones. Diploid: organism is composed of diploid cells. They have one set of chromosomes from each parent. Sister chromatids: it"s of the dupli(cid:272)ated (cid:272)h(cid:396)o(cid:373)oso(cid:373)es. They are identical copies of chromosomes that are held together by centromere. During anaphase, each pair of sister chromatid is separate into 2 identical, independent chromosomes. The chromosomes are separated by structures called mitotic spindles.
