Document Summary

The ability of organisms to produce more of their own kind best distinguishes living things from nonliving matter. The continuity of life is based on the reproduction of cells, or cell division. In unicellular organisms, division of one cell reproduces the entire organism: multicellular organisms depend on cell division for. Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle, the life of a cell from formation to its own division. The exception is meiosis, a special type of division that can produce sperm and egg cells. Concept 12. 1: most cell division results in genetically-identical daughter cells: most cell division results in daughter cells with identical genetic information, dna. All the dna in a cell constitutes the cell"s genome. A genome can consist of a single dna molecule (common in prokaryotic cells) or a number of dna molecules (common in eukaryotic cells) Dna molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes.
