In your own words, write a definition for each of the following terms: cell cycle and cytokinesis?

# data[].attributes.body
Eukaryotic cells?

A) do not divide

B) undergo binary fission

C) undergo mitosis

D) have cell walls

# data[].attributes.body
Why is it important for chromosomes to be copied before cell division?

# data[].attributes.body
Describe mitosis?

# data[].attributes.body
Cell A takes 6 h to complete division. Cell B takes 8 h to complete division. After 24 h, how many more copies of cell A would there be than cell B?

# data[].attributes.body
What would happen if cytokinesis occurred without mitosis?

# data[].attributes.body
How does mitosis ensure that a new cell is just like its parent cell?

# data[].attributes.body
Compare the processes that animal cells and plant cells use to make new cells. How are the processes different?

# data[].attributes.body
A cell produces more cells by first copying its DNA. Eukaryotic cells produce more cells through the four phases of mitosis. Mitosis produces two cells that have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cells. At the end of mitosis, a cell divides the cytoplasm by cytokinesis. In plant cells, a cell plate forms between the two new cells during cytokinesis.

Cell Cycle: A series of stages that a cell undergoes for growth and division, comprising interphase and the mitotic phase.

Cytokinesis: The process of dividing the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells at the end of the cell division.

C) undergo mitosis

# data[].attributes.body
Chromosomes must be copied before cell division to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical set of genetic material. This process is crucial for maintaining genetic continuity and proper cellular function.

# data[].attributes.body
Mitosis is a fundamental process of cell division in eukaryotic organisms, resulting in two genetically identical daughter cells from a single parent cell. This process is crucial for growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction.

# data[].attributes.body
To determine how many more copies of Cell A there would be compared to Cell B after 24 hours, we first calculate the number of divisions each cell type can complete in that time frame.

# data[].attributes.body
Cytokinesis occurring without mitosis would lead to a cell that contains multiple nuclei within a single cytoplasmic mass. This condition results in a coenocytic structure, where the cytoplasm is not divided, but the nuclei may be present in multiple copies. Such a scenario is observed in certain fungi and some plant cells, where the absence of mitosis allows for the formation of multinucleated cells.

# data[].attributes.body
Mitosis ensures that a new cell is genetically identical to its parent cell through a highly organized process of cell division that involves several key steps.

# data[].attributes.body
Cell division in animal cells and plant cells involves distinct processes, particularly during cytokinesis, which is the final step of cell division.

Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus enclosed within the nuclear membrane, forming large and complex organisms. Fungi, plants, and animals all have eukaryotic cells. page 99 also includes the cycle and stages of eukaryotic cells. after those stages, there begins the stage; Osmosis. there's also the stage of mitosis.
