Document Summary

Chapter 6: cell division - mitosis and meiosis. 2 types of cell division: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis: growth and repair of body cells. Produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells with the same chromosome number as the parent cell. Produces gametes (sperm and ova) with half the chromosomes of the parent cell. Chromosome consists of a highly coiled and condensed strand of dna. A replicated chromosome consists of two sister chromatids. One is an exact copy of the other. Centromere: specialized region that holds the two sister chromatids together. Spindle fibers connect the centromere to the centrosome during cell division. The cell cycle living and dividing cells pass through regular sequence of growth and division. 5 stages: g1, s, g2 (all make up interphase), mitosis, and cytokinesis. 90% of cell life is spent in interphase. Chromosomes replicate in preparation for cell division. One or more nucleoli become visible within the nucleus, and nuclear membrane remains intact.
