... phylum zygomycota, is the formation of a temporary reproductive structure called the zygosporangium. In plants, meiosis occurs inside sporangia that are permanent structures, and then continue on to divide by mitosis. Both kingdoms produce diploid zygotes, but plants' zygotes produce a diploid sporophyte, and zygomycetes produce haploid hyphae. 2. Fungi have traditionally been included in the plant kingdom ... making up their cell walls. A final difference between the two kingdoms, is nuclear mitosis. In fungi, during mitosis the nuclear envelope does not break down and reform: mitosis ta...

... contains chromatin, a condensed complex of DNA and protein which make up chromosomes. DNA carries the instructions for cell division and also controls cell growth. Outside of the nucleus is what is referred to as the cytoplasm, a jelly like substance which fills the inner space of the cell between the outer membrane and the nucleic membrane. Within the cytoplasm ... DNA as their genetic material, they are both membrane bound and both have ribosomes. However prokaryotic cells such as bacteria are smaller and much more simply structured (Fig 3) They lack a nucleus and therefore have no c...

... of the enzyme DNA helicase, which helps break hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs and separate the two strands. The new nucleotides in the nucleus bind with their complementary bases in each exposed chain. DNA polymerases are enzymes, which catalyze the formation of a new polynucleotide chain by complementary ... . G2 phase is where the cell continues to grow and organelles such as mitochondria are copied. Next comes mitosis, where the nucleus divides. The chromatids containing replicated DNA separate from each other and are redistributed as chromosomes in the nuclei of the t...
