Mitosis (Required Practical) Flashcards
what are the stages of mitosis
- the newly replicated chromosomes are joined together
- they move to the center of the cell
- chromosomes are pilled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell
- the nucleus divides each new nucleus contains one full set of chromosomes
what is a chromosome made out of and what is in it
It has DNA in it and carries many genes (a small section of DNA in a chromosome)
genes carry instructions for making proteins and determine characteristics of living things
how many chromosomes are in a human body cell
23 pairs
What is the process mitosis
the process of cell division and replicating chromosomes separating them into 2 new nuclei form
what is cell division by mitosis and what does it do
it is to make new genetically identical cells and how multicellular organisms grow and will happen millions of times in the fertilized egg to grow into a human
mitosis also makes new cells for repair and replacement of cells
how do you calculate percentage change
%change = change in value
