Study Notes

The cell cycle consists of stages that increase cell numbers and surface area to volume ratio.
Cell division serves various purposes, including repairing/replacing cells and producing identical cells.
Chromosomes are packets of DNA, and homologous chromosomes contain the same gene sequence.
Diploid cells have two pairs of every chromosome, while haploid cells have half the number of chromosomes.
Mitosis and cytokinesis serve essential functions in growth, maintenance, and repair of damaged tissue.
Meiosis produces four genetically varied gametes that undergo fertilization to produce a zygote.
Somatic cells are body cells that undergo cell division called Mitosis and Cytokinesis.
Interphase is the preparation phase for somatic cell division.
Meiosis I is the reduction division and recombination phase, while Meiosis II divides haploid daughter cells to form four gametes.
Meiosis produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes to prevent doubling in every generation.
