Document Summary
Cell cycle and cell division: the eukaryotic cell cycle. M - mitosis (all other events are part of interphase) Gap 1 - cells use copy of genetic material from parent cell, dna replication, and cell division. Gap 2 - preparations for mitosis, synthesis of molecules needed for mitosis (e. g. spindle, microtubules) Cyclin-dependent kinases (cdk) - protein kinase that catalyzes transfer of phosphate group from. Atp to a target protein: the eukaryotic chromosome. Kinetochore - protein on chromatids that help it to attach to the spindle during division. Chromosomes are made up of dna; dna is made up of genes: mitosis. Daughter cells have the same amount of chromosomes as the parent (and are genetically identical) because the chromosomes duplicate before division: cytokinesis in animal vs. plant cells. Animals starts with furrowing of plasma membrane; contractile ring of actin and myosin (the proteins interact to create a contraction and pinch the cell into two)
