Cellular Reproduction

DNA controls proteins; proteins make and do everything in the cell. Passing on Traits begins with correctly passing on DNA.

Replication is the process of copying a DNA molecule
Mitosis takes all of the copies of chromosomes in the nucleus and perfectly separates them into two nuclei in order to make identical cells
Meiosis also perfectly sorts out chromosomes but makes cells with half of the original number of chromosomes
