Meiosis
What type of cell is produced by meiosis?
Gametes
What is the primary purpose of Mitosis?
To make two identical daughter cells for growth or to replace damaged cells.
What is the final step of cell division where the cytoplasm divides to form two cells?
Cytokinesis
Found in both plants and animal cells. Controls which substances pass into and out of a cell. Food Particles enter, and waste products exit.
Cell Membrane
During which stage of mitosis do the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell?
Metaphase.
What are the names of the two cell cycles we have learned about?
Mitosis and Meiosis
Rod-shaped structure that converts food into usable energy.
Mitochondria!
How many cells result from the process of meiosis?
4!
How many cells result from the process of Mitosis?
During which phase of the cell cycle does the cell grow and prepare for division?
Interphase
Accepts proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and then distributes them to other parts of the cell.
Golgi Apparatus.
The cells resulting from meiosis have (the same/half of) the number of chromosomes as the starting cell.
HALF!
The cells resulting from meiosis have (the same/half of) the number of chromosomes as the starting cell.
The SAME!
What happens if the cell cycle goes wrong and the cell divides uncontrollably?
It can lead to cancer, where cells grow and divide too quickly.
Organelles that break large food particles down into smaller ones. They are similar to cell recycling centers.
Lysosomes
Why is meiosis important for sexual reproduction?
Meiosis creates gametes with half the number of chromosomes, so when a sperm and egg join, the offspring has the correct number of chromosomes.
Blood Cells, Skin Cells, Nerve Cells or any other type of somatic (body cell)
What are the name of the X shape structures which contain a cells genetic material?
Chromosomes!
Name the two structures found in PLANT cells that are NOT found in animal cells.
Cell Wall and Chloroplast
