When these chemicals are not properly controlled (too
much or too little) cell division does not occur as
programmed.

Standard 17-4

Mutations are changes that occur in the genetics of an
organism, resulting in some physical or chemical change.

the production or release of cell CYCLINS, resulting in bad
mitosis.

double/full amount of genetic
info for an organism; usually a
somatic (body) cell;

(paternal) DNA guarantees each gamete
will contain a UNIQUE combination from
each parent’s parent.
