Mitosis & Meiosis

Mitosis vs. Meiosis

AB
What type of cells are produced during Mitosis?body cells
Give an example of Mitosis.examples are body cells such as skin cells
How many duplications and divisions occur during Mitosis?1 duplication and 1 division of chromosomes
How many daughter cells are produced during Mitosis?results in 2 daughter cells
How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after Mitosis?daughter cells have the SAME # of chromosomes
What type of cells are produced during Meiosis?sex cells
Give two examples of the types of cells produced during Meiosis?examples:eggs and sperm
How many duplications and divisions occur during Meiosis?1 duplication and 2 divisions of chromosomes
How many daughter cells are produced during Meiosisresults in 4 daughter cells
How many chromosomes do daughter cells have after Meiosisdaughter cells have HALF the number of chromosomes
Are cells identical or different from the parent cell after Meiosislook different from parent
Are cells identical or different from the parent cell after Mitosislooks identical to parent cell
4 Steps of Mitosis(PMAT) prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telephase
What happens to the cell during Prophase?Chromosomes duplicate (make a copy of themselves)
What happens to the cell during Metaphase?Chromosomes line up in the middle
What happens to the cell during Anaphase?Chromosomes move apart to opposite sides
What happens to the cell during Telephase?Cells split into TWO new cells
Which process is used for sexual reproduction (mitotis or meiosis)?Meiosis
What do we call the cells at the beginning of Mitosis and Meiosis?Parent Cell
What do we call the cells at the end of Mitosis and Meiosis?Daughter Cells
What do chromosomes contain?Genetic Material
