Eukaryotic versus Prokaryotic
What are the two defining characteristics of a EUKARYOTIC CELL?
Nucleus and Membrane Bound Organelles
Where is the genetic code located in the cell?
DNA
In which organelle is the DNA of a somatic cell replicated?
Nucleus
What is the preparation phase called that the cell spends the majority of its time in, before mitosis?
Interphase
What is the phase called, after PMAT, in which the parent cell physically splits into two daughter cells
Where is the DNA located in a PROKARYOTIC CELL?
Cytoplasm
Which part of the cell maintains homeostasis by regulating what enters and exits the cell?
Cell Membrane
In which organelle does photosynthesis occur?
Chloroplast
What occurs during the S phase of interphase?
DNA Replication
How is mitosis different than meiosis?
Mitosis- somatic body cells, 2 daughter cells
Meiosis- gametes, 4 daughter cells

2. Nuclear Membrane is disapearing
3. Spindle fibers are forming
Prophase
When a stem cell divides it can become its own specialized cell. What factor determines what type of cell it becomes?
The genes expressed
List three examples of a eukaryote and one of a prokaryote
