Document Summary

The cell cycle: cell division and mitosis (and meiosis) Cell division reproduces an entire organism: prokaryotes and single-celled eukaryotes divide into 2 cells, each an individual organism. Cell division involves division of genetic material (dna in chromosomes) + all organelles endomembrane system, plasma membrane, etc. And in between, growth of cells and replication of all organelles. Allows multi-cellular organisms to develop from single cells: embryo development in sea urchin. Cell division function in renewal and repair: dividing bone marrow cells give rise to new blood cells (cid:862)omnis cellula e cellula(cid:863) = (cid:862)e(cid:448)e(cid:396)y (cid:272)ell f(cid:396)o(cid:373) a (cid:272)ell(cid:863: key concepts: cell cycle. New cells arise from pre-existing cells = cell division, part of cell cycle. Cell cycle = cell growth + division of the nucleus and genetic material (mitosis), cytoplasm and organelles (cytokinesis) Prior to cell division dna is replicated but the nucleus/genetic material can then divide in two very different ways.
