What type of cells does mitosis produce?
Identical cells to the
parent
In which type of cells does mitosis occur?
Somatic cells
What happens to the chromosome number during mitosis?
Chromosome number
remains
the
same
What are the key differences between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis:
Purpose: Growth, repair
Daughter Cells
: Identical to parent
Genetic Variation
: None
Meiosis:
Purpose: Reproduction
Daughter Cells:
Genetically unique
Genetic Variation: High
How does genetic variation change during mitosis?
Genetic
variation
doesn't
change
How many stages are there in total in the process of mitosis?
4
What is the purpose of meiosis?
Sexual reproduction
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Growth and repair of
tissues
How does genetic variation differ between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis
has
none
,
meiosis
has
high
variation
In which type of cells does meiosis occur?
Germ cells
How many daughter cells are produced in meiosis?
4
haploid
daughter cells
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Cellular proliferation
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 is the third stage of mitosis called?
Metaphase
What is cell division?
When a
single cell
splits into new cells
What happens during the Metaphase stage of mitosis?
Chromosomes
line up at the center of the cell
Spindle fibers
attach to the
centromeres
of the chromosomes
Cell is ready for chromosome separation
What type of cells does meiosis produce?
Genetically
unique
cells
What divides during telophase?
Cell membrane
divides
What happens to chromosomes during metaphase?
Chromosomes
line up in
middle
How many diploid daughter cells are produced during mitosis?
2
What is the result of mitosis?
Two identical
daughter cells
Each with a complete set of
chromosomes
What happens during the Anaphase stage of mitosis?
Sister
chromatids
separate and move to opposite poles of the cell
Spindle fibers
shorten, pulling the
chromosomes
apart
Cell begins to elongate
What happens during interphase in mitosis?
Chromosomes
duplicate
What is the chromosome number of the zygote?
Diploid
What is the purpose of meiosis I?
To reduce the
chromosome
number by half, from
diploid
to
haploid
To create
genetic diversity
through
independent assortment
and
crossing over
What are the two main types of cell division?
Mitosis
and
meiosis
What is the final product of meiosis II?
Zygote
What happens during the Prophase stage of mitosis?
Chromosomes
condense and become visible
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Spindle fibers
begin to form
In which type of cells does meiosis occur?
Germ cells
What is unique about the genetic material of the cells produced by meiosis?
Each
has
unique genetic material
What occurs during prophase of mitosis?
Nuclear membrane
breaks down
What type of variation occurs in meiosis?
Increased
genetic variation
What is formed during prophase?
Spindle fibers
appear
What occurs during anaphase of mitosis?
Sister chromosomes
separate and move to poles
How many haploid daughter cells are produced during meiosis?
4
What is the fifth and final stage of mitosis called?
Telophase
What are the new cells formed during cell division called?
Daughter 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, is halved in each daughter cell in meiosis
Genetic variation
doesn't change in mitosis, but increases in meiosis
What is the purpose of mitosis?
Cellular proliferation
What is the purpose of meiosis?
Sexual reproduction
