Document Summary

2 types of cell division: normal cells/ non sex cells perform mitosis [one cell divides into 2 cells, the, meiosis only produces gametes (sperm and egg) the cells produced from this. Daughter cells are identical to each other and the parent they came from] aren"t identical. Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus. Somatic(non-reproductive cells) have two sets of chromosomes in each nucleus. Somatic cells- have 2 sets of chromosomes (for a total of 46) Gametes have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells. Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin, a complex of dna and protein that condense during cell division. In preparation for cell division, dna is replicate and the chromosomes condense. S phase: each replicated chromosome has two sister chromatids, which separate during cell division. The centromere of the replicated chromosome is where the two chromatids are most closely attached. Mitosis )nucleas divids then cytokinesis (cell divides) followed by interphase.
