Mitosis, Meiosis, Types of Reproduction, DNA

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.

Front

What is Meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes (sperm or eggs).

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What base does Guanine pair with in DNA?

Back

Cytosine.

Front

What is the role of DNA?

Back

DNA carries genetic information and instructions for the development, functioning, growth, and reproduction of all living organisms.

Front

What happens during Anaphase in Mitosis?

Back

The chromosomes are separated and move to opposite ends of the cell.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the stage of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What is the purpose of cell division?

Back

Cell division occurs for growth, reproduction, and repair of tissues.

Front

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical cells, while Meiosis results in four genetically diverse cells.

Front

What is a chromosome?

Back

A chromosome is a structure made of DNA and proteins that contains genetic information.
