Document Summary

Chromosomes: the nuclear units of genetic information divided and distributed by mitotic division: chromosomes are the genetic units divided by mitosis. Diploid (2n): cells with two copies of each chromosome in nuclei: humans have 23 different pairs of chromosomes (diploid number = 46) Haploid (n): cells with only one copy in nuclei. Ploidy: the number of chromosome sets of a species. Sister chromatids: two identical copies of each chromosome: occurs before cell divides into mitosis, process involves replicating dna molecules, plus doubling the proteins bound to the. Chromosome segregation: the equal distribution of daughter chromosomes into each of the two daughter cells that result from cell division. Clone: group of cells created by the precision of chromosome replication and segregation in the mitotic cell cycle (all cells are genetically identical except for rare mutations) G0: tage fo(cid:396) (cid:272)ells that a(cid:396)e (cid:374)ot desti(cid:374)ed to di(cid:448)ide afte(cid:396) g(cid:1005) (cid:894)e(cid:374)te(cid:396) a (cid:862)shu(cid:374)t(cid:863)(cid:895, some cells never resume the cycle.
