In yeast, unlike in multicellular organisms, the cell cycle lacks chromosome condensation and is unaffected by cell contacts and cell differentiation. In frog and marine invertebrate oocytes and ...

In prokaryotes, the circular chromosome is contained in the cytoplasm in an area called the nucleoid. In contrast, in eukaryotes, all of the cell's chromosomes are stored inside a structure called ...

Each human body cell contains 46 chromosomes. These can be arranged into 23 pairs. Each chromosome in a pair carries the same types of genes. The 23rd pair are the sex chromosomes: In females ...

it must grow and make copies of all the organelles such as mitochondria and ribosomes. The cell must also replicate the chromosomes in the nucleus, then it can divide by mitosis.
