Mitosis And Eukaryotic Analysis

Good Essays
Open Document

Life starts out in organisms that are so small and complex even the naked eye can’t see. It starts from the zygote and ends up becoming the person you are today! It all starts from a cycle, when fertilization, the fusion of two haploid gametes, (the sperm and the egg) forms a diploid zygote. This is how the chromosome number in a life cycle changes from haploid to diploid (23 to 46). A lack of chromosomes or having more than 23 chromosomes can cause syndromes like Down Syndrome or Turner Syndrome, which will be discussed later. Mitosis is the division of a haploid or diploid cell into two duplicate daughter cells. Mitosis is basically the division of a nucleus into two duplicate cells, and both have the same number of chromosomes. These identical cells are called totipotent cells, which have the ability to develop into new organisms. A good example of cell division in haploid cells is how the male honey bee develops from an unfertilized haploid cell. For humans, each cell contains 50% DNA from mom and other 50% from dad. Since these cells are eukaryotic, they include both introns and exons. Exons are the nucleotide segments in genes and introns are non coding regions. In …show more content…
