Mitosis
Cards (4)
- Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes, 46 in total. (DIPLOID)
- Gametes (eggs/sperm) have 23 chromosomes (HAPLOID)
- New cells are made by Mitosis for:
- Growth
- Tissue Repair
- Mitosis Process:
- Genetic material duplicates
- Two sets of chromosomes move to different sides
- Mitochondria, ribosomes & other organelles are duplicated
- The cell divides, producing two genetically identical diploid cells
