  • DNA contains the genetic instructions for making proteins;

  • cells make proteins by translating the genetic code

  • (a nitrogen base sequence) into a protein (an amino acid sequence)

Therefore, DNA controls life by controlling protein synthesis.

DNA Replication (copies)

  • Prior to division, the cell makes a copy of DNA

  • Creates an exact replica

  • Occurs during Interphase in preparation for mitosis/cytokinesis


3
New cards

Mitosis

  • Division of nucleus, in which the duplicated DNA is distributed to new daughter cells


4
New cards

  • Four stages of mitosis ensure each cell receives a full copy of replicated DNA


  • Prophase

  • Metaphase

  • Anaphase

  • Telophase

PMAT


5
New cards

Cytokinesis

  • Cytoplasmic division and the creation of two new cells
