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
