Document Summary
Interphase takes up 90% of the cell"s time. G1: parent cell contains unreplicated chromosomes: this is most of the cell"s growth. Mitotic spindles and contractile ring are two structures required for cell division. Stages of mitosis i: g2 of interphase, before mitosis, each chromosome has been duplicated and consists of two identical sister chromatids held together at the centromere, before mitosis, dna must be fully replicated. In animal cells, centrosome must be duplicated to form the two poles of the mitotic spindle. Division of the cytoplasm begins: cytokinesis, the cytoplasm is divided into two by the contractile ring, spindle apparatus disintegrates, mitosis vs meiosis i, mitosis. Each cell ends up with same genes: meiosis i. Positioning is random so cells end up with dna from both mother and father. Aneuploidy is very much a human problem not mammalian: aneuploidy is almost always lethal, exceptions: trisomy 21&18, sex chromosome abnormalities.
