The purpose of cell division in eukaryotes is to

Cells are capable of growing, reproducing, and programmed cell death. Therefore they have their own life spans called the

If genes are mutated in some way cell division can become out of control leading to

Cells require _ which is transported across the membrane.

Ideally cells need to be _ so they are more efficient.

A parent cell divides to form

In order for a cell to divide it must first

DNA (many genes) and proteins (such as histones) make up

The cell's DNA is in this form most of its life (loosely dispersed DNA)

The center of a chromosome that attaches sister chromatids is called the
