1. Words to think about in this unit. Mitosis Meiosis Chromosomes Chromatids Homologous chromosomes Cell cycle Cancer Haploid vs. diploid Somatic cells versus germ line cells
7. Different story for Eukaryotes… WHY? Bigger More DNA many linear chromosomes Packaged differently than prokaryotes Chromosome= long DNA molecule packaged with proteins (called ____________)into compact shape.
8. OVERVIEW Chromosomes composed of CHROMATIN= Protein and DNA 1 human chrom= 140 million nucleotides 1 chromosome stretched out = 2 inches
9. Mitosis and Meiosis Mitosis: cell ÷ in somatic cells Meiosis: cell ÷ in germ cells
10. Cell cycle- cell division and the events that prepare a eukaryotic cell for division
11. Chromosome When chromosomes replicate, form IDENTICAL sister chromatids. Centromere-connects 2 sister chromatids
