Why is mitosis necessary for an organism to survive? (Select all that apply)
Mitosis results in half the the original chromosomes as the original cell
Mitosis help in increasing the number of cells in a living organisms
Mitosis helps in the production of identical copies of cells and thus helps in growing and repairing, damaged tissue or replacing the worn-out cells.
Mitosis produces new gamete (egg and sperm cells)
Mitosis is a way of making more cells that are genetically the same as the parent cell.
Why is interphase a part of cell division and not mitosis?
Interphase happens at the end of Mitosis
Interphase results in gametogenesis which produces haploid gamete cells egg and sperm
Interphase results in the production of two new daughter cells
Interphase occurs before Mitosis during which it grows and produces the various proteins necessary for division.
What is the relationship between parent and daughter cells during mitosis?
Mitosis results in haploid daughter cells with chromosomal combinations different from those originally present in the parent
Mitosis is cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and Produces four gamete cells.
Mitosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells.
Mitosis has two cell divisions that result in four haploid cells
In meiosis, if the parent has 16 diploid cells and the offspring has 8 haploid cells, explain the reduction in number.
In Meiosis the chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell undergo replication then a division process occurs resulting in two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell; so the number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells must be the same.
In Meiosis the parent cell has two separate cycles of nuclear division. The process results in four daughter cells that are haploid or half the number of the original parent.
Meiosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells. The major purpose of this division process is for growth and to replace worn out cells.
Meiosis is an important process in organisms which reproduce asexually. Parental cells that produce identical daughter copies is a key process that sustains populations of asexual organisms.
Knowing that crossing over generates genetic diversity, explain what would happen if crossing over was skipped or did NOT occur.
The products of gametogenesis would have a variety of genetic information
There would be a variety of gametes
All produced offspring would look different
There would be less genetic variation within a species
Explain how cytokinesis differs in animal and plant cells.
In animal cells cytokinesis forms a cell plate that eventually becomes the cell wall. Plant cells dont have a cell wall.
Cytokinesis in animal cells occurs when the plasma membrane of the parent cell pinches inward along the cell's equator until two daughter cells form. In plant cells, a cell plate forms along the equator of the parent cell.
Cytokinesis in plant cells is different than animal cells because in animal cells the plama membrane pinches in and becomes the cell plate, plant cells dont have a cell plate.
Cytokinesis only occurs in animal cells and does not occur in plant cells because they have a cell wall.
Mitosis /Meiosis...What is the difference in parent vs daughter cells (Choose the two answers that are correct)
In Mitosis the parent is (n) and divides to create 4 (n) daughters
Meiosis is used to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cells
In Meiosis the 2n parent divides twice to produce 1n daughters that are genetically different
In Mitosis the parent is (2n) and is divided to create two identical, (2n), daughter cells.
Neither cell produces daughter cells
At the end of gametogenesis, how many egg are produced in the ovary and and sperm in the testies?
4 eggs and 4 sperm
1 sperm and 4 eggs
3 sperm 1 polar body and 4 eggs
3 eggs 4 polar body and 1 sperm
3 polar bodies 1 egg and 4 sperm
Select the answer that explains why interphase is or is not necessary?
Interphase is important for cell division because it allows the cell to grow, replicate its DNA, and make final preparations for cell division
Interphase is not important because cell only need to divide, there is no need for growth in cell division.
Interphase is important to divide the number of cell evenly, this ensures the cell have an even amount of genetic material.
Interphase is not important because mitosis multiplies the cells to make sure they have enough DNA for growth and repair.
What is the next phase of mitosis
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
