Meiosis and Mitosis Review

Front

What is the purpose of cell replication in organisms?

Back

Cell replication is necessary for growth, repair of damaged cells, and replacement of dying cells.

How does meiosis affect the number of chromosomes in daughter cells?

Back

Meiosis reduces the number of chromosomes in daughter cells to 1/2 that of the parent cell.

Front

What is the first phase of mitosis?

Back

Prophase.

Front

What is the second phase of mitosis?

Back

Metaphase.

Front

What is the third phase of mitosis?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the fourth phase of mitosis?

Back

Telophase.

Front

What is the correct order of stages in mitosis?

Back

Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four haploid cells.

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, maintaining the same chromosome number as the parent cell.

Front

What is a chromosome?

Back

A chromosome is a long strand of DNA that contains genes, which are the instructions for making proteins.
