Document Summary

8. 3 - mitosis and the eukaryotic cell cycle. Mitosis divides the replicated dna equally and precisely. Creates daughter cells that are genetic cops of the parental cell. 3 factors regulate mitosis: ensures the cell cycle progresses in speci c order and time, dna synthesis replicates each dna chromosome into 2 perfect copies, cytoskeleton helps to separate the replicated dna precisely into daughter cells. 8. 3 a) chromosomes are the genetic units divided by mitosis. In eukaryotes, hereditary info is distributed among dna molecules (double stranded) These dna molecules are combined w/ proteins to assist in packing of dna during mitosis. Each chromosome is made of these dna molecules, along with other proteins. Most eukaryotes have 2 copies of each chromosome, aka diploid (2n: humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes, which is 46 chromosomes. (2n= 46) Some eukaryotes (ex: microorganisms) only have 1 copy of each chromosome, aka haploid (n)
