STRUCTURE OF DNA Structure of DNA University Of Phoenix Principles of Biology BIO/101 Phil Clifford January 13‚ 2009 Structure of DNA Since the beginning of human history‚ people have been intrigued how traits are inherited from one generation to the next. What is DNA? DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (called nuclear DNA)‚ but a small amount of DNA can also be

The purpose of mitosis is to create or produce more cells for a living organism. Mitosis occurs when genetic substance in the nucleus divides or separates in order to create more cells. Cytokinesis normally occurs next and the single cell develops into two separate cells. This same process continues

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cell division. Cell division is the reproduction of cells‚ and requires the duplication of chromosomes. Mitosis takes place when the nucleus divides. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes in diploid organisms. Mitosis and meiosis are two very different processes. While meiosis only requires the cell to divide twice‚ the cell only divides once during mitosis. This causes meiosis to produce four cells and mitosis to produce two cells
Premium Chromosome Cell cycle Eukaryote
Mitosis and meiosis are both important biological processes that happen within eukaryotic cells. These two processes are slightly different from one another‚ but have a lot of similarities. Before each of these processes can be performed‚ the cell first has to go through interphase. Interphase is considered the primer for mitosis or meiosis and consists of: G1‚ S‚ and G2 phases. These phases prepare the cell for either mitosis or meiosis by causing the cell to grow‚ copy the DNA‚ and copy the cell’s

The discovery of DNA is attributed to the research of three scientists in 1951; Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ and James Dewey Watson. They were all later accredited with the Nobel Prize in physiology and medicine in 1962. Thanks to their discovery‚ science has been able to research and learn from DNA blueprints and use recombinant DNA technology to discover answers‚ vaccines and build immunity for many viruses. In recent years science has been using this new technology to genetically modify animals

Complete the following questions and submit via Blackboard 1. List two events which occur during prophase of mitosis: 1. An aster is formed by fibers radiating from the centrioles of the cell. 2. Chromosomes are formed when the chromatin threads coil and then condense‚ and these chromosomes are two identical chromatids bound together by a centromere. 2. What is the main occurrence involving the chromosomes during
Premium Chromosome Mitosis DNA
Mitosis and meiosis are the means by which reproduction takes place. Mitosis creates an exact duplicate of cell so that old cells can be replaced‚ such as in skin‚ hair‚ and bones. Meiosis allows a cell to unite one half of its genetic makeup with a cell from another partner to create an entirely new organism. Mitosis Mitosis is the process by which two daughter cells are formed‚ each containing a complete set of chromosomes. Mitosis is the process by which an organism creates new cells‚ such

mitosis and meiosis. Many people often get confused with the two about their functions. They both serve as mechanisms for cell division. However‚ quite significantly‚ they are very much different in fact and occur in different situations. Mitosis and meiosis take place in different places. This is one of the first major differences between the two. Mitosis takes place within somatic cells (cells that make up the body)‚ while meiosis takes place within gamete cells (sex cells). As such‚ meiosis produces
