Hint: “If it’s not A_____, then it’s G_______”
Review:
What is the side (the “backbone”) of the DNA
molecule made of?
INM: Mitosis = Cell Division
Mitosis: cell division in which the
nucleus divides
Mitosis forms two daughter cells that
are exactly the same as the parent cell
Genetics (cont)
Date:
III.Mitosis is cell division in which
the nucleus divides
A. Daughter Cells (formed by
mitosis) have exact copies of
the parent cell
chromosomes
