• How many pairs of chromosomes are in a human cell?

• Describe the steps of mitosis

  Cell grows and the amount of subcellular structures increases. It duplicated its DNA making one copy per new cell. Chromosomes are pulled to opposite ends of the cell. Membranes form around the sets of chromosomes and these become the nuclei (nucleus has divided). The cytoplasm and cell membrane divide.
• What is produced as a result of mitosis?

  2 new daughter cells with exactly the same DNA
• Are the 2 daughter cells produced in mitosis identical to the parent cell?

  Yes
• Are the 2 daughter cells produced in mitosis identical to eachother?

  Yes
• Define gene
