Document Summary

Enables single celled organisms to reproduce and multicellular organisms to grow from a single cell to a full organism and renew cells. The life of a cell from the time it is first formed until its own division. (the cell division process plays a big role in this) One very long dna molecule held together by chromatin (protein structure) which carries several hundred to a few thousand genes. Sister chromatids are attached all along their lengths. A region of the chromosomal dna where the sister chromatids are attached the most closely to each other. Have half as many chromosomes as somatic cells. In humans these contain 23 chromosomes/one of each pair. Part of the cell cycle which includes both mitosis and cytokinesis. Mitosis is the division of the genetic material in the nucleus. Mitosis is followed immediately by cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm. The m-phase provides two cells which are the genetic equivalent of the mother cell.
