Mitosis and Meiosis Review

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

What is Meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically different cells, each with half the number of chromosomes of the original cell.

What happens during Anaphase in Mitosis?

Back

During Anaphase, the chromosome pairs are split and pulled to opposite ends of the cell.

What is DNA Replication?

Back

DNA Replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself before a cell divides.

Front

What is the end result of Meiosis?

Back

The end result of meiosis is four genetically different cells.

Front

In which stage is DNA replicated?

Back

DNA is replicated during Interphase.

Front

How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after Mitosis if the parent cell has 8 chromosomes?

Back

The daughter cells will also have 8 chromosomes.

Front

What is Prophase?

Back

Prophase is the first stage of Mitosis where chromosomes condense and become visible, and the nuclear envelope begins to break down.

Front

What is Metaphase?

Back

Metaphase is the stage of Mitosis where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell before being separated.
