Document Summary

All living things are made of cells. Cells are the smallest unit of life. Cells come only from other cells by cell division. Cell division is an integral part of the cell cycle. Single circular dna molecule eukaryotic cells several dna molecules. Dna molecules in a cell are packaged into chromosomes. Eukaryotic chromosomes consist of chromatin (dna & proteins) It condenses during cell division dna wound around histone proteins into nucleosomes: chromosome number. Every eukaryotic species has a characteristic number of chromosomes in each cell nucleus. Haploid cell (n) = 1 cop of each chromosome. Diploid cell (2n) = 2 sets of each chromosomes. During cell cycle: starting ploidy = ending ploidy. Reason why they don"t do the more complicated process is because they"re more simple (1 circular chromosome, no nucleus) Mitotic (m) phase (mitosis and cytokinesis: events of interphase (90% of the cell cycle) Kinetochores (protein handles) will grow from centromere that"ll help move sister chromatids around.
