3.24b Mitosis (2)



Notes


Mitosis - creating identical 'daughter' cells requires 'DNA replication'

-> Process: Each chromosome undergoes copying process -> Identical copy with identical genes & alleles
---> Takes place inside nucleus (unobservable) = Interphase of cell cycle

-> Two copies held together by centromere (structure around central region) = referred to as 'pair of chromatids'
