HAZEL SIVE: In this
section of today's class,
we talked about cell division.
You should be familiar with
the notion of DNA replication,
at least you've heard of it
and you understand the outcome.
You should be familiar
with the term mitosis,
and understand the
two processes that
are occurring during this
type of cell division.
And you should be
familiar with meiosis,
a kind of complicated
cell division
that leads to formation
of the germ cells.
What we've done
in class today is
to talk about three
big topics that
have to do with the
cell and its chemistry.
We talked about cellular
chemistry and the notion
of some thermodynamic parameters
that govern cellular reactions.
We talked about the
organization of the cell
and what it contains.
And we talked about
cell division,
one of the huge basic
processes of life.
