Document Summary

Dna molecules made of proteins that assist in packaging dna during cell division and influence expression of genes. Most eukaryotes have 2 copies of each chromosome (chromosome complement is diploid). Therefore, 23 different pairs of chromosomes = 46 pairs. Number of chromosome sets is called a ploidy of a cell or species. Replication of chromosome in g2 phase creates 2 sister chromatids. Equal distribution of daughter chromosomes to daughter cells is called chromosome segregation. Cell grows and develops in preparation for mitosis and cytokinesis in interphase. G phase = gap phase (absence of dna synthesis) is when rna and proteins are made. S phase = synthesis phase (dna is synthesized) G2 phase = second growth phase during which more rna and protein is synthesized. G1 phase can vary within the same species. Thus , the length of this phase determines how long a cell takes to complete a cell cycle.
