MITOSIS What is Mitosis? There are various structures within the cell‚ but many are too difficult to see. For example‚ within the nucleus lie the chromosomes. These are important for heredity and reproduction. When a cell splits and becomes two‚ certain processes occur within the nucleus first. One of these processes involves the splitting of the chromosomes. This process is called Mitosis and there are four distinct stages. Mitosis takes place in Regular Body Cells or Somatic Cell. It keeps Cells

to exist. Mitosis is the process of chromosomes dividing. There are four steps that it goes through. Between cell division the cells are in interphase. During this there is cell growth and the genetic material such as DNA is contained in the chromosomes‚ duplicated so that when the cell divides each new cell has a full version of the same genetic material. First is prophase‚ which the chromosomes coil up and become visible. Second is metaphase‚ the chromosomes move in toward the center. Third is

the cell begins meiosis I with prophase I. In prophase I‚ chromosomes condense‚ the spindle-fibers form‚ the nuclear envelope begins to break down‚ and homologous chromosomes pair. During metaphase I‚ the spindle-fibers line the homologous chromosome pairs in the middle of the cell. Anaphase begins and pulls the homologous pairs toward the spindle fibers on either side of the cell. Meiosis I ends with telophase I‚ when the homologous chromosome pairs finish moving to opposite sides of the cell. After

Mitosis and Meiosis I. These two processes function to pass chromosomes from one cellular generation to the next in a very carefully controlled manner. II. Mitosis and Meiosis are both correctly described as nuclear division; they are never correctly called cell division‚ or any kind of reproduction. It is possible (and often quite normal) for nuclei to divide when cells don’t. And organisms reproduce; nuclei and cells divide. III. Mitosis A. Mitosis is the division of a nucleus

Chapter 6 Explain what free energy is and how it can be used to predict the energetic outcome of chemical reactions.Free energy is defined as the energy available to do work in any system. The free energy is denoted by the symbol G. G = H – TS* H: the energy contained in a molecule’s chemical bonds‚ called enthalpy.* TS: the energy term related to the degree of disorder in the system. T is the absolute temperature (K)‚ and S is the entropy.We can use the change in free energy to predict whether

layout of the numbers‚ types‚ and structures of the chromosomes in a eukaryotic cell. This includes the diploid and haploid numbers as well as the morphology of the chromosomes. When assembling a karyotype‚ two chromosomes specify gender‚ XX for females and XY for males‚ while the remaining chromosomes are arranged from largest to smallest in pairs. Each pair is arranged based upon chromosome morphology‚ decreasing size‚ and autosome and sex chromosome distinguishes. Karyotyping is a useful tool used
