Mitosis and Meiosis Review

Front

Why is it important to replicate DNA before a cell divides in mitosis or meiosis?

Back

In order for genetic information to be transferred into daughter cells.

Front

What are chromosomes?

Back

Condensed DNA.

Front

What is the next phase of mitosis after Metaphase?

Back

Anaphase.

Front

What is the result of meiosis?

Back

4 cells that are not identical.

Front

What process occurs during Prophase 1 involving chromosomes?

Back

Crossing-over in which alleles are exchanged.

Front

Define mitosis.

Back

The process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells.

Front

Define meiosis.

Back

The process of cell division that results in four genetically diverse daughter cells.

Front

What is the role of sister chromatids in cell division?

Back

Sister chromatids are identical copies of a chromosome that are joined together and separated during cell division.

Front

What is crossing-over?

Back

The exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

Front

What is the difference between diploid and haploid cells?

Back

Diploid cells have two sets of chromosomes, while haploid cells have one set.
