chapter 8 Flashcards
one somatic cell forms 2 identical daughter cells
cell division
body cell
somatic
study of physical inheritence
genetics
collection of an organisms genetic information
genome
found on dna as genes
genome
basic unit of hereditary
genome
why do cells divide
- old cells die
- cells grow too large
- need more tissue
circular chromosomes repilcate like animal cells
binary fission
chromosomes attach to part of the PM
binary fission
septum grows along the middle, separating the 2 chromosomes
binary fission
3 main steps in replication
- dna replication
- mitosis
- cytokinesis
unique sequence of bases which codes for a specific protein
gene
where does dna replication occur
nucleus
dna wrapped around proteins
condensed chromatin
bundles of dna
chromosomes
sister chromatids are attached at….
at the centeromere
2 main phases of cell replication
- interphase
2. mitotic
controlled by proteins
interphase
regulates cell division
