Mitosis Flashcards
Division of somatic cells (non-reproductive cells) in eukaryotic organisms.
Mitosis
Nuclear division & division of cytoplasm
Mitosis
DNA condensed
Mitosis
A single cell divides into two identical daughter cells.
Mitosis
Daughter cells have same number of chromosomes as does parent cell.
Mitosis
Daughter cells have same number of chromosomes as does parent cell. TRUE or FALSE
TRUE
Means that it won’t undergo division or not yet ready
Uncondensed
If DNA molecules is ————, the celll is preparing for division
Condensed
DNA molecules in extended,
uncondensed form =
chromatin
Cell can only replicate and transcribe DNA when in
extended state.
DNA molecules condense to form chromosomes prior to division.
Preparing for division
each chromosome is a single molecule of
DNA
easier to sort and organize the ———- into daughter cells
replicated DNA
