1 2 4 8 How many chromosomes are in the middle cell 1 2 4 8 At what part of the cell cycle would you see a chromosome that looks like this G 1 G 2 M S At what part of the cell cycle would you see a chromosome that looks like this . A Chromosome and Sister Chromatids. Key Points About Chromosome Structure. A . chromosome consists of DNA that is wrapped around proteins (. histones. ) and condensed. Each . histone. and the DNA wrapped around it make up a . Cell division creates duplicate offspring in unicellular organisms (Asexual Reproduction). Provides for growth, development, and repair in multicellular organisms (Sexual Reproduction). The cell cycle extends from the creation of a new cell by the division of its parent cell to its own division into two cells. Unicellular organism- cell division reproduces . an entire . organism. Multicellular. organisms- cell . division . can . produce . growth or progeny. Cell . division functions in reproduction, growth, and repair. Topic 1: DNA Organization. By the end of this topic, you should be able to…. Identify parts of a chromosome. Explain why DNA has to copy and coil before cell division. Explain why cells cannot continue to grow forever. CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION Despite the diversity among cells, three basic features are common to all cell types. All cells have outer boundary, an interior substance and a control region. CELL STRUCTURES 1. Cell Division. The ability of organisms to produce more of their own kind is the one characteristic that best . distinguishes living . things . from nonliving . matter.. Cell division . functions in . The . cell cycle. is a repeated pattern of growth and division that occurs in eukaryotic cells. . This cycle consists of three phases: G1, S, G2. The first phase represents cell growth while the last two phases represent cell division.. Why do cells need to divide?. As . cells grow larger, they start to face several . difficulties . in functioning:. Growth & Repair. In order for multi-cellular organisms to grow, cells must divide. If cells are lost due to injury or damage to DNA, . Cell Cycle - a cycle of growth, development, and division. This is how organisms grow, produce new cells, and replace old cells. The cell cycle occurs in 2 phases: Interphase and . Mitosis. The Cell Cycle: Interphase. Chapters 12, 13, 16, 17. Limits to Cell Growth. The larger a cell becomes, the more demands a cell places on its DNA. If extra copies of DNA are not made, an “information crisis” would occur. The cell also has more trouble moving nutrients and wastes across the cell membrane. 1 Cell Cycle is an orderly sequence of events by which a growing cell duplicates its contents and divides into two. The period required to complete one cell cycle is called generation time, e.g., 20 and the next. Includes; phase (Gap 1) - Cellular contents excluding the S phase (DNA Synthesis) - Each of the 46 chromosomes are duplicated by the cell. phase (Gap 2) - The Genetic information is passed from one generation to the next on . chromosomes. .. Before cell division, each chromosome is duplicated, or copied.. C. hromosomes. Each chromosome consists of two identical . Interphase. Mitosis. Prophase. Metaphase. Anaphase. Telophase. Cytokinesis. Interphase. Longest phase of the cell cycle. Cell grows to mature size. Replicates DNA. Prepares for division. Mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell .
