1. Intro to DNA Replication

2. A QUICK REFRESHER Where is DNA found? nucleus Where else?
mitochondria, chloroplast (the endosymbiont theory)
What form does DNA take in the nucleus?
chromosome
How do the 150 million base pairs that make up the human genome fit into the nucleus?
wrapped around histones
coiled and supercoiled chromatin condenses into chromosomes

3. What is a karyotype?
A picture of all the chromosomes found in a cell
How many chromsomes are found in a human somatic cell?
23 pairs (46 total)
How many chromosomes are found in human gametes? 23
Is this person male or female?
male

5. All cells can give rise to a new generation of cells via the cell cycle
S phase of interphase
DNA replicates
Mitosis
Replicated DNA splits between two nuclei
Cytokinesis
Cytoplasm splits between two daughter cells
Each daughter cell has an exact copy of the parent cell’s DNA
