Document Summary

Eukaryotes require their daughter cells to be genetic copies of the parent cell which can be done through mitosis. Mitosis serves very well to divide the replicated dna equally and precisely. 3 interrelated systems allow for mitosis to occur: Orderly and timely progression of the cell cycle is maintained by molecular checks and balances. Dna synthesis replicates each dna chromosome into two copies. Structural and mechanical interwoven web of cables and motors of the cytoskeleton separate the replicated dna molecules into the precise daughter cell. Chromosomes: nuclear units of genetic information divided and distributed by meiotic cell division. Chromosomes are the genetic units divided by mitosis. In eukaryotes hereditary information is distributed among double stranded dna molecules. Each chromosome is composed of one dna molecule along with associated proteins. Most eukaryotes have two copies of each type of chromosome in their nuclei. Chromosome complement is said to be diploid.
