Mitosis
The type of cell division in which the nucleus of a cell divides into two nuclei and two identical daughter cells are formed.
Mitosis

Meioses
When DNA and the proteins associated with it condense, what is formed?
Chromosomes
What is the series of repeating growth and cell divisions?
Cell Cycle

2
How many chromosomes are in a human diploid cell?
46
In what stage of interphase in the cell cycle is DNA replicated?
S – synthesis phase
Are all the cells produced by meiosis identical?
No : because of Crossing-over and independent assortment
