  • 2
    How many divisions does Meiosis have?
  • 2
    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
