Document Summary

M phase consists of two distinct events: (1) division of nucleus (2) division of cytoplasm. During cell replication mitosis divides replicated chromosomes to form two daughter nuclei with identical chromosomes and genes: usually accompanied by cytokinesis - cytoplasmic division resulting in two daughter cells. Process of how chromosomes change before, during and after mitosis and cytokinesis begins with hypothetical plant/animal cell g1 phase (chromosome number varies widely among species) Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of dna wrapped around globular histone proteins: dna-protein material is a chromatin. During interphase chromatin of each chromosome"s in a relaxed uncondensed state: forms long, thin strands. Start of mitosis: each chromosome consists of two sister chromatids attached to each other at centromere. After mitosis: each chromosome now consists of two sister chromatids. Each chromatid contains one long dna double helix. Sister chromatids represent exact copies of the same genetic information. Mitosis begins when chromatin condenses to form much more compact structure: condensed chromosomes correspond to paired threads.
