Document Summary

Evolution is only possible because of genetic variation; individuals are genetically different from each other. How each organism"s genetic information is passed from generation to generation. Think about mitosis and meiosis as genetic variation. A genome is all of the dna sequence in one copy of an organism"s chromosomes. Mitochondrial chromosomes are circular, and contain dna. N represents one copy of all of an organism"s nuclear chromosomes ie. one set of chromosomes (would find in a gamete, in every sperm/egg cell) C represents the amount of dna in one set of an organism"s nuclear chromosomes. Might be measured in weight or pairs. Purpose of actively cycling cells: growth/repair, reproduction, passing on genetic information to next generations. Location: blood cells, skin cells, sperm cells, root tips of tree, trunk of tree, tips of shoots of tree; cells that are being abraded. *all cells are not destined to divide anytime soon.
