Gametes
Meiosis occurs in game cells to produce _________.
A form of nuclear division that divides a diploid cell into haploid cells.
What is Meiosis?
Mitosis occurs in all body cells and prepares it for Cytokinesis.
How is Mitosis related to Cytokinesis?
Mitosis results in diploid cells, Meiosis results in haploid cells.
What are the differences in the results of the cells in Mitosis and Meiosis?
Two separate chromosomes; one from your mother, one from your father.
Homologous Chromosomes
