Study Notes

Mitosis and the Cell Cycle

Cells divide for growth and repair
New cells must have identical genetic information to the parent cell

The Cell Cycle

Cells grow and divide through a series of stages
Stages involve cell growth, DNA synthesis, and mitosis (cell division)
DNA replicates to form two copies of each chromosome
Chromosomes line up in the center of the cell
One set of chromosomes moves to each end of the cell
The cell divides into two identical cells (daughter cells)

Mitosis

A type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells
Essential for growth and repair in organisms
Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell
