•! Eukaryotic chromosomes
–! Consist of chromatin, a complex of DNA and
protein that condenses during cell division
•! In animals
–! Somatic cells have two sets of chromosomes
–! Gametes have one set of chromosomes

CONCLUSION The results of fusing cells at two different phases of the cell cycle suggest that molecules present in the
cytoplasm of cells in the S or M phase control the progression of phases.
