Chromosome Replication
Precise chromosomal DNA replication during S phase of the cell cycle is a crucial factor in the proper maintenance of the genome from generation to generation. The current “once-per-cell-cycle” model of eukaryotic chromosome duplication describes a highly coordinated process by which temporally regulated replicon clusters are sequentially activated and subsequently united to form two semi-conserved copies of the genome. Replicon clusters, or replication domains, are comprised of individual replication units that are synchronously activated at

Chromosomes
The behavior of chromosomes during the cell cycle is similar in animal and plant cells. However, differences in cell division do exist. Plant cells have no centrioles, yet they have bundles of microtubules that converge toward the poles at the ends of a spindle. Cell walls in plant cells dictate differences in cytokinesis. In this exercise, you will observe dividing cells in the zone of cell division of a root tip. The separation of daughter
