Q: What is the role of chromosomes in cell division? A: Chromosomes make it possible to separate DNA precisely during cell division.
In prokaryotes: not in nucleus Circular (plasmid) In Eukaryotes: several chromosomes Often X shaped Chromosomes-contains the genetic information (DNA)
Prokaryotes DNA duplicates Membrane indents Cell forms 2 identical The Cell Cycle-growth, prepares for division & divides to form 2 daughter cells
Interphase G1-Cell growth S-DNA replication G2-Prepare for mitosis Largest amount of cell life in this part (Interphase). Eukaryotes-2 parts: Interphase & Cell Division
M Phase or Mitosis & Cytokinesis PMAT=Mitosis • Prophase- genetic material condenses (X), chromosome visible, spindle forms. Centromere-center of chromosome Centriole-animals; helps cell divide.
2. Metaphase- chromosomes (X) line up in the middle of the cell. Centrioles opposite ends.
3. Anaphase-chromosomes separate at the centromere & move to opposite ends.
Cytokinesis- Division of the cytoplasm. Cell plate forms in plants. Plant Cells Animal Cells
