Front

What is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells?

Back

Mitosis

Front

What is the term for the paired chromosomes that are similar in shape, size, and genetic content?

Back

Homologous chromosomes

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis in terms of the number of daughter cells produced?

Back

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells, while meiosis produces 4 daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of the centromere during cell division?

Back

The centromere holds sister chromatids together and is the attachment point for spindle fibers.

Front

What is the significance of karyotyping in genetics?

Back

Karyotyping is used to examine the number and structure of chromosomes to identify genetic disorders.
