Document Summary
Dna replication: cells multiply by dividing to make exact copies of themselves, this enables organisms to grow and injured tissues to heal, there are two kinds of cell division, protein synthesis, cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Is a segment of dna that dictates the sequences of amino acids in a particular protein. If the sequence of dna bases is changed by a mutation, some proteins may not be manufactured and the cell may not function properly. Cell division: mitosis and meiosis: cell division results in the production of new cells and during this process, the. Y chromosome is directly involved in determining maleness. Mitosis: cell division in somatic cells is called mitosis. 2: mitosis is the way somatic cells reproduce and the reproduction of somatic cells is essential to growth and development. Important evolutionary innovation because it increases genetic variation in population.
