Question 1

Both mitosis and meiosis are..

Answer 1

mechanisms

Question 2

Similaraties between miosis and mitosis

Answer 2

Both divide eukaryotic cell materials
Both cells copy it’s DNA during the interphase stage
Both spindle fiber arranges the movement of chromosome

Question 3

Differences between miosis and mitosis

Answer 3

Mitosis:
occurs in somatic cells, throughout the life
cytokinesis occurs once so there are 2 daughter cells
identical cells, growth and repair, asexual reproduction
the # of chromosomes in the daughter cells is the same as in the parent

Meiosis:
Occurs in germ cells
Cytokinesis occurs twice so there are 4 daughter cells
diploid cells divide by mitosis producing haploid cells
genetically different cells, sexual reproduction produces gamets

Question 4

Number of division in mitosis and meiosis

Answer 4

Mitosis: 1
Meiosis: 2

Question 5

Number of daughter cells in mitosis and meiosis

Answer 5

Mitosis: 2
Meiosis: 4

Question 6

Genetically identical?

Answer 6

Mitosis: yes
Meiosis: no

Question 7

Chromosome #

Answer 7

Mitosis: same as parent
Meosis: half from each parent

Question 8

Where?

Answer 8

Mitosis: somatic cells
Meosis: germ cells

Question 9

When?

Answer 9

Mitosis: throughout life
Meiosis: at sexual maturity

Question 10

Role

Answer 10

Mitosis Growth and repair, asexual
Meiosis: sexual reproduction
