What is the purpose of mitosis?
Cellular proliferation
What are the two main types of cell division?
Mitosis
and
meiosis
What type of cells does meiosis produce?
Four
haploid
cells
What happens to the chromosome number in mitosis?
Chromosome number
remains
the
same
What is the result of mitosis?
2
diploid
daughter cells
In which type of cells does meiosis occur?
Germ cells
How does cell division work metaphorically?
Like
photocopying
a document for students
How many stages are there in total in the process of meiosis?
8
How many stages are there in total in the process of meiosis?
8
What is the result of meiosis?
4
haploid
daughter cells
What is the result of meiosis?
4
haploid
daughter cells
How does genetic variation change in mitosis?
Genetic
variation
doesn't
change
What are the main differences between mitosis and meiosis?
Purpose:
Mitosis: Growth/Repair
Meiosis: Reproduction
Result:
Mitosis: 2
diploid
cells
Meiosis: 4
haploid
cells
Chromosomes
:
Mitosis: Same number
Meiosis: Halved
Variation:
Mitosis: No change
Meiosis: Increased
What is the difference in genetic uniqueness between cells produced by meiosis and mitosis?
Meiosis
produces
genetically
unique
cells
What begins to divide during prophase?
The
nucleus
What are the key similarities between mitosis and meiosis?
Both have similar basic
steps
Both start with a single
parent cell
Both produce new cells
What are the key differences between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis has 4 stages, meiosis has 8 stages
Mitosis occurs in
somatic cells
, meiosis occurs in
germ cells
Mitosis is for
cellular proliferation
, meiosis is for
sexual reproduction
Mitosis produces 2 diploid
daughter cells
, meiosis produces 4
haploid
daughter cells
Chromosome
number remains the same in mitosis, but is halved in each daughter cell in meiosis
Genetic variation
doesn't change in mitosis, but increases in meiosis
How many stages are there in total in the process of mitosis?
4
In which type of cells does mitosis occur?
Somatic cells
What occurs to chromosomes in anaphase?
Each chromosome separates into identical
chromatids
How does mitosis contribute to growth in organisms?
It increases
cell numbers
for growth
How does meiosis contribute to genetic diversity?
By producing sex cells with half the
chromosomes
What happens to the cell membrane during telophase?
It splits, producing two identical
daughter cells
How does one somatic cell divide into two identical copies?
Mitosis
occurs in four stages:
Prophase: Nucleus divides, chromosomes condense
Metaphase: Chromosomes align at the cell center
Anaphase: Chromatids separate to opposite sides
Telophase: Cell membrane splits, forming two cells
In which type of cells does meiosis occur?
Germ cells
What is cell division?
When one cell splits into two
identical
cells
Where do chromosomes line up during metaphase?
At the
center
of the cell
What is the primary purpose of mitosis compared to meiosis?
Mitosis is for
growth
, meiosis for reproduction
What type of cells are produced by meiosis?
Germ (sex) cells
What happens to chromatids during anaphase?
They move to
opposite
sides of the cell
What are the three main functions of cell division?
Growth
,
repair
, and
reproduction
What is the purpose of meiosis?
Sexual reproduction
What is the purpose of meiosis?
Sexual reproduction
What analogy is used to describe the functions of cell division?
Cell division is like tools in a
toolbox
:
Growth: Adding new
layers
Repair: Healing wounds
Reproduction: Creating
genetic diversity
What is the final stage of mitosis called?
Telophase
What happens during mitosis when you cut your finger?
Mitosis replaces
damaged
cells to heal
What is the role of meiosis in reproduction?
It produces sex cells with half
chromosomes
How does the number of chromosomes in meiosis compare to mitosis?
Meiosis has
halved
chromosomes
How many stages are there in total in the process of mitosis?
4
What are the purposes of cell division?
To grow
To repair
damaged
tissues
To
reproduce
