Q

What is cell cycle and cell division

A

Cell cycle
• cell growth
• duplication of genetic material (DNA)
• cell division (splits into two cells) or four new cell
Cell division
• a single parent cell divides into either identical 2 daughter cell or four cells, each with half of the number of chromosomes

Q

What is mitosis

A

Mitosis
• the cell first divide the nucleus into two sets
• followed by the division of the cytoplasm that gives rise to two identical daughter cells
• Somatic Cell/body cell
• non reproductive cells

Q

What is meiosis

A

• parents cell divides twice to give 4 daughter cells each with half the amount of genetic material compared to parent cell
• the one useful in production of game
•sex cells
