Chapter 9, Problem 10TYU
FOCUS ON INFORMATION
The continuity of life is based on heritable information in the form of DNA. In a short essay (100‒150 words), explain how the process of miles is faithfully parcels out exact copies of this heritable information in the production of genetically identical daughter cells.

In the tracking chromosomal DNA movement through mitosis experiment, how many chromosomes did each of your daughter cells contain? Why is it important for each daughter cell to contain information identical to the parent cell? How often do human skin cells divide? Why might that be? Compare this rate to how frequently human neurons divide. What do you notice?
Please explain
In which stage(s) of the cell cycle, mitosis or meiosis
do each of these processes occur (multiple stages apply to some)
Crossing-over:
Chromosome supercoiling:
Separation of sister chromatids:
DNA synthesis:

4. A previously undiscovered single celled organism was found living at a great depth on the ocean floor. Its nucleus contains only a single, linear chromosome consisting of 7x10^6 nucleotide pairs of DNA coalesced with three types of histone-like proteins. The analysis of individual nucleosomes revealed that each unit contained one copy of each protein and that the short linker DNA had no protein bound to it If the entire chromosome consists of nucleosomes (discounting any linker DNA), how many are there and how many total proteins are needed to form them?

- The continuity of life depends on a cell cycle during which genetic information is passed from a parent cell to daughter cells. Because cell division plays several important roles in life, it is important that the cycle be regulated. Which of the following are reasons the cell cycle must be regulated? Select all that apply.
