  • Cell division is asexual which means its quicker, they can produce more and all of the cells are identical. It's important that they're identical because that means they have the same DNA. If they don't have the same DNA many problems arise.
  • Cell division is the process by which cellular material is divided between 2 daughter cells.
  • The two daughter cells will be identical to each other and the mother cell.
  • Just before cell division, chromosomes appear in the nucleus of the cell.
  • Before cell division occurs, each cell must first copy it's DNA.
  • Cell divsion occurs in four steps: 1). G1 or Gap 1(Growth), 2). S or Synthesis (Duplication of DNA), 3). G2 or Gap 2(Growth and prep for division), 4). M or Mitosis and Cytokinesis (The division of the nucleus (mitosis) and the division of the cytoplasm (Cytokinesis))
  • What is the first step in the process from DNA to chromatid?
    DNA
  • What is the relationship between DNA and chromatin?
    DNA is transformed into chromatin
  • What comes after chromatin in the process of DNA packaging?
    Chromatid
  • What is the structure that forms after chromatid?
    Chromosome
  • What is the name of the region that holds sister chromatids together?
    Centromere
  • What is the final structure mentioned in the transcription after chromatid?
    Chromosome
  • What is the term for the duplicated form of a chromosome before cell division?
    Chromatid
  • How does chromatin relate to chromatid in the context of DNA packaging?
    Chromatin condenses to form chromatids
