CELL REPRODUCTION
DNA is the cell's genetic material; chromosomes are the carriers of this genetic information. In proka-ryotes, the chromosome is a single circle of DNA. In eukaryotes, each chromosome is a complex of DNA and histone proteins found in the nucleus.
BINARY FISSION
Prokaryotic cells reproduce via binary fission. In this process, DNA Is replicated, and the cell splits in two roughly equal parts, each with a copy of the cell's DNA.
EUKARYOTIC CELL CYCLE
Eukaryotic cells reproduce via the creation of two identical diploid cells from one diploid cell. Diploid (2N) refers to the total number of chromosomes in autosomal (nonsex-ual) cells.
A. Interphase: The period between mitotic divisions during which chromosomes are not visible; comprise of three phases:

The four phases of a eukaryotic cell cycle

1. G1 phase: Major period of cell growth.
2. S phase: Chromosome replication takes place, pro-ducing pairs of sister chromatids (identical chromosomes) that are......
