Cell Division:

All cells come from ________________________________ (Cell Theory).
Cell division in the process by which cells produce ________ cells.
Cell division differs between prokaryotes (________________) and eukaryotes (______________________
____________________________________).
Cells grow in _______________ NOT in size.
How often do cells divide?


Some cells must be repaired often such as cells lining the intestines, white blood cells, _________ cells
with a short lifespan.
Other cells DO NOT divide at all after birth such as muscle, nerve cells, brain cells, female ______ cells.
Reasons for Cell Division:

DNA, deoxyribose nucleic acid, is a long thin molecule that stores ___________________________.
DNA is organized into molecules called ____________________.
Chromosomes are made of proteins and a long, single tightly coiled
DNA molecule visible only when ____________________________.
When a cell is NOT dividing the chromosome (DNA) is less visible
and is called __________________.

__________________ hold duplicated chromosomes
together before they are separated during cell
division.
DNA makes copies of itself before cell division, each
half of the chromosome is called a _________
______________.

_____________ genetic information.
Human somatic (_______ cells) have ____
__________ of chromosomes or ______
chromosomes (_________ or 2n number)
The 2 chromatids of a chromosome pair
are called _________________ (have
genes for the same trait at the same
location).
Human sex cells ( ____________) sperm
& egg have one set of 23 chromosomes
(_____________ or n number)

Telophase
 __________________________ reappears.

Cytokinesis
 Division of the _______________ of the cell and its
organelles into two new ________________ cells.
 Differs between animal and plant cells:
