HL (MM) Mitosis vs Meiosis Mastery Check

Front

What is mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is meiosis?

Back

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

Front

In which type of cells does mitosis occur?

Back

Mitosis occurs in body cells (somatic cells) such as skin, muscle, and blood cells.

Front

What type of cells are produced by meiosis?

Back

Meiosis produces gametes, which are sperm and egg cells.

Front

What is the main purpose of mitosis?

Back

The main purpose of mitosis is growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

Front

What is the main purpose of meiosis?

The main purpose of meiosis is to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.

Front

List the stages of mitosis in order.

Back

The stages of mitosis in order are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.

Front

What is asexual reproduction?

Back

Asexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves a single organism producing offspring that are genetically identical to itself.

Front

What is sexual reproduction?

Back

Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction that involves the combination of genetic material from two parents, resulting in genetically diverse offspring.

Front

What percentage of chromosomes does a sperm cell contribute to the offspring?

Back

A sperm cell contributes 50% of the chromosomes to the offspring.
