Mitosis, Meiosis, Types of Reproduction, DNA

Front

What type of cells undergo mitosis?

Back

Body cells undergo mitosis.

Front

What is sexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction is when there are two parents contributing chromosomes.

Front

Which type of reproduction creates genetically different offspring?

Back

Sexual reproduction creates genetically different offspring.

Front

What happens during prophase?

Back

The nucleus starts to disappear, chromatin packs up into chromosomes, and spindle fibers start to form.

Front

What occurs during metaphase?

Back

The chromosomes start to line up in the middle of the cell.

Front

What is asexual reproduction?

Back

Asexual reproduction is a type of reproduction that involves only one parent and produces genetically identical offspring.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, creating four genetically diverse gametes.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

The main purpose of mitosis is to produce two identical daughter cells for growth and repair.

Front

What are gametes?

Back

Gametes are reproductive cells (sperm and egg) that carry half the genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

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