mitosis and meiosis

Cards (8)

  • mitosis :
  • meiosis (only in sperm and egg cell) :
  • interphase = cell copies its DNA to prepare for mitosis
  • prophase = separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells
  • metaphase = the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
  • anaphase = The sister chromatids separate and are pulled to opposite poles of the cell. 
  • telophase = process which separates the two genetic information into 2 daughter cells
  • cytokenesis = cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
