      How many daughter cells does Mitosis produce?
    • 4
      How many daughter cells does Meiosis produce?
    • Mitosis
      Which has daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell?
    • Meiosis
      ______ enables organisms to reproduce sexually
    • Mitosis
      ______ could be used for human growth.
    • Mitosis
      ___ could be used to replenish depleted organs and tissues.
    • Meiosis
      ______ is reserved for the creation of sperm and egg cells.
    • Anaphase (IDing picture/no definition)

      Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
    • Metaphase (IDing picture/no definition)

      Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
    • Prophase (IDing picture/no definition)

      Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
    • Telophase (IDing picture/no definition)

      Which stage of mitosis does this image represent?
    • Interphase
      Time period between cell divisions when the cell grows, DNA duplicates and preparation for mitosis occurs.
    • Mitosis
      cell division in which the nucleus divides into nuclei containing the same number of chromosomes
    • Cytokinesis
      Division of the cytoplasm and organelles
    • Plant Cell Cytokinesis
      Which type of cytokinesis?
      Plant or Animal
    • Animal Cell Cytokinesis
      Which type of cytokinesis?
      Plant or Animal
    • Prophase (image and definition)
      Nuclear membrane disappears / Chromatin condenses and thickens into chromosomes / Spindle fibers appear
    • Anaphase (image and definition)

      The spindle fibers pull the chromatids apart and pull them to opposite poles. This gives rise to daughter chromosomes
    • Telophase (image and definition)

      Nuclear membrane forms around each set of chromosomes / Spindle fibers disappear / Chromosomes return to there original, uncondensed chromatin form
    • Two Daughter Cells
      End result of mitosis
    • Metaphase (image and definition)

      Chromosomes line up along the equator in the middle of the cell
    • Cancer
      disorder in which some of the body's cells lose the ability to control growth
    • Stages of Interphase
      G1, S, G2
    • cell cycle checkpoints
      mechanisms that monitor the preparedness of a eukaryotic cell to advance through the various cell cycle stages
    • G1 checkpoint
      checks for cell size, nutrients, growth factors and DNA damage
    • G2 checkpoint
      checks for cell size and DNA replication
    • M checkpoint

      Spindle assembly checkpoint. Mitosis will not continue if chromosomes are not properly aligned.
    • Centrioles
      Cell organelle that aids in cell division in animal cells only
    • spindle fibers
      help pull apart the cell during replication and are made up of micrtubules
    • Meiosis
      a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, as in the production of gametes and plant spores.
    • Meiosis I
      The first division of a two-stage process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that results in cells with half the number of chromosome sets as the original cell.
    • Meiosis II
      the second phase of meiosis consisting of chromatids separating, along with the two diploid cells splitting in two
    • Prophase I (Meiosis)

      homologous chromosomes pair up and form tetrads, crossing over occurs
    • tetrad
      structure containing 4 chromatids that forms during meiosis
    • crossing over
      Process in which homologous chromosomes exchange portions of their chromatids during meiosis; occurs during prophase I, increases genetic variation
    • Metaphase I (Meiosis)
      Tetrads are lined up at the metaphase plate; Spindle fibers attach
