Cell divisionallows a single-celled fertilized egg to grow into an organism with trillions of cells. Somatic cellsAre the body cells that continue to undergo cell division even as an adult Thousands of new blood cells, skin, and cells lining the digestive track/ respiratory tractAre produced every day The cell cycleIs an orderly set of stages from the first division of eukaryotic cells to the time resulting daughter cells divide Prior to divison-cell grows larger -the number of organe...

Define prokaryote.Single-celled; DNA is NOT contained in a nucleus; Lacks membrane-bound organelles; Very small - about 1/10th the width of a human hair - 1-10 microns Summarize the two main groups of prokaryotes, and their phylogenetic relationships to the common ancestor of all life, and to eukaryotes.Bacteria and Archaea. The Bacteria and Archaea are made up entirely of microorganisms; the Eukarya contains plants, animals, and microorganisms such as fungi and protists. A phylogene...
