1. Cells grow larger and reproduce
2. Development of whole organism from single cell (zygote)
3. Worn-out cells are replaced.
1. Cells grow larger and reproduce
2. Development of whole organism from single cell (zygote)
What controls these processes?
DNA - key molecule that carries information to direct all cell functions

• Chromosomes contain a very long DNA molecule with thousands of genes
Chromatin = DNA with associated proteins
Genome = complete set of chromosomes for an organism

• A eukaryotic cell has many more genes than a prokaryotic cell
The large, complex chromosomes of eukaryotes duplicate with each cell division

1. Original DNA molecule unwinds.
2. New DNA strands are synthesized from the two original strands.

• When chromosomes are duplicated, sister chromatids are produced

• When the cell divides, the sister chromatids separate – Two daughter
cells are produced
– Each has a complete and identical set of chromosomes

• Eukaryotic cell division consists of two stages:
– Mitosis
– Cytokinesis

• In animals, cytokinesis occurs by cleavage
– which pinches the cell apart
Cytokinesis differs for plant and animal cells

• Mitotic cell division functions in:
– Growth (here, onion root)
