Meiosis is responsible for:

• Staying the same

• Similar cells

• Creating identical cells

• Genetic Diversity

NGSS.HS-LS3-2

What is the purpose of Meiosis?

• To heal, grow and replace cells

• To produce two identical daughter cells

• To produce cancer

• To produce gametes for sexual reproduction

What is the purpose of Mitosis?

• To produce gametes

• Sexual Reproduction

• To cause mutations

• To heal, grow and replace cells.

On average, what percentage of tiem do cells spend in interphase?

• 10%

• 50%

• 70%

• 90%

What are the major parts of the cell cycle for body cells?

• prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase

• interphase, mitosis, and cytokinesis

• mitosis and cytokinesis

• G1, S, and G2

What is "crossing over"?

• The exchange of genes between chromosomes during meiosis that results in genetic diversity.

• Programmed cell death (cell suicide) to prevent the spread of mutated/cancerous cells.

• A type of cell division that creates gametes (sperm and egg cells).

• A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
