A chromosome in its "x" form.March 2, 2011, Period 4 Blog
First off, Mr. Finley gave us credit for the work we did while he was absent. Then, we had a chance to ask some questions. Below is the information gathered from the question and answer session:

Cell Division
- Chromosomes are formed by two DNA strands going directly next to each other forming an "x" shape. At the center of the "x" is a dot which is called the centronene or the kineticore.
- Microtubleores- strands that pull off a DNA strand from the chromosome.
- Spindlefiber- same as microtubleores
- Chromotin- Unraveled DNA
- DNA is raveled up within the chromosome.
- Mitosis is the process in which the cells divide and the DNA is transferred to the two new daughter cells.(Prophase to Telopahse)We go through mitosis for development and repair.
- Cytokinesis- The cell memberane opens and the cells are two different cells now. (the ripping apart of the two new daughter cells)

Wait, so the new chromosones are the daughter cells? Or are the daughter cells something else?
