Unit 3 exam

Front

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

Back

Growth of an organism and Repair of damaged tissue.

Front

What happens during Prophase?

Back

Nuclear membrane disappears, Chromosomes can now be seen, Centrioles move to opposite sides.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis?

Back

4 daughter cells.

Front

What are the 'X' shaped structures seen during cell division?

Back

Chromosomes.

Front

What is the primary function of Mitosis?

Back

For growth and repair.

Front

What is Meiosis?

Back

A type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, producing four haploid cells.

Front

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Back

Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while Meiosis results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of Centrioles during cell division?

Back

They help in the formation of the spindle fibers that separate chromosomes.

Front

What is the significance of Chromosomes?

Back

They carry genetic information in the form of genes.

Front

What occurs during Telophase?

Back

The chromosomes reach the opposite poles, and the nuclear membrane starts to reform.
