mitosis

• gametes = egg cells + sperm cells
• mitosis = cell division for GROWTH + REPAIR OF DAMAGED TISSUE
• one parent cell divides to form two daughter cells
• the two daughter cells = GENETICALLY IDENTICAL + have same chromosome no as parent each
• mitosis HAS to be spelt right for the marks -> M I T O S I S
• label:

  A) parent cell

  B) 46 chromosomes

  C) 46 chromosomes

  D) 46 chromosomes

  E) daughter cells

  F) cell copies DNA, replicates, and divides

  
• mitosis occurs in body cells (which always have the full chromosome number)
• 2 daughter cells are produced
• uncontrolled mitosis -> (maybe) cancer
