Document Summary
The reproduction of cells: when a prokaryotic cell divides, it is actually reproducing, since the process gives rise to a new organism. Same true of any unicellular eukaryote: the functions of cell division, cell division process is an integral part of the cell cycle. An ordered sequence of events in the life of a cell, for its origin in the division of a parent cell until its own division into two. The eukaryotic cell cycle is composed of interphase (including g1, s, g2 subphases) and m phase (including mitosis and cytokinesis: passing identical genetic material to cellular offspring is a crucial function of cell division. Daughter cells: a dividing cell replicates its dna, allocates the two copies to opposite ends of the cell, and only then splits into daughter cells. A cellular structure consisting of one dna molecule and associated protein molecules. A eukaryotic cell: typically has multiple, linear chromosomes, which are located in nucleus.
