Mitosis
A body cell has 46 chromosomes and undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?
What is 46 chromosomes?
In this process of cell division, the end product is two identical daughter cells.
What is mitosis?
This word is used to describe cells containing two complete sets (2n) of chromosomes.
In this phase, chromosomes are unwinding, nuclear membranes reappear, and cytokinesis takes place.
What is telophase?
In this phase, crossing over occurs between homologous chromosomes.
What is prophase I?
The purpose of this type of cell division is for growth and to replace worn out cells.
What is mitosis?
The part of the cell division process during which the cytoplasm divides into two daughter cells.
What is cytokinesis?
In this phase, the chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear envelope breaks down, and mitotic spindles form.
What is prophase?
The number of chromosomes in a human gamete/sperm/egg cell?
What is 23?
The purpose of this type of cell division is to produce genetically different gamete cells.
The mitotic spindle attaches to this part of the chromosome. It also links a pair of sister chromatids.
What is the centromere?
In this phase, paired chromosomes (sister chromatids) separate and begin moving to opposite ends of the cell.
What is anaphase?
In in this cell division process, the end product result is four nonidentical gamete cells.
The word is used to describe cells containing only one complete set of chromosomes (n).
In this phase, chromosomes align in the middle of the cell?
What is the name of similar but not identical chromosome pairs an organism receives from its two parents?
Before mitosis and meiosis can begin, the cell copies its DNA, grows, and prepares for cell division in this phase.
What is interphase?
This structure forms during cell division to align the chromosomes in metaphase and separate the sister chromatids in anaphase.
