Document Summary

Cell cycle: the time from division to division. Must replicate and accurately distribute dna to daughter cells. Most cells duplicate macromolecules and organelles and double in size before division. Mitosis: produces two diploid, genetically identical daughter cells. Involves cytokinesis division of cytoplasm into two daughter cells. Meiosis: produces four haploid, daughter cells with half the hereditary material found in parent cell. Cell division essentrial for growth and development, wound repair, asexual reproduction (yeast) Amount of chromosomes does not correlate to complexity of organism. Dna packaging in eukaryotes: dna double helix wrapped around histone proteins, which tightly pack together and condense to prepare for mitosis/meiosis to form chromosomes. Before mitosis, chromosomes are single stranded and each has a homologous pair (one from mother and one from father) After replication each chromosome duplicates into two sister chromatids, one chromosome = two identical sister chromatids.
