bio cell division Flashcards
When does meiosis take place
During gametogenesis
so diploid will become haploids (to restore)
Whats the difference between somatic and germ cells
somatic-body cells
germ-gamete/sex cells
What is 2n and n?
2n=46 chromosomes/diploid and n=23 chromosomes (half)/haploid
What is an oocyte
a developing egg
this regards oocytes
meiosis first division
primary oocyte goes through first meiosis division.
meiosis second division
then the secondary oocyte goes through second meiotic division, after fertililization
What’s a polar body
a haploid cell formed when the egg cell is formed
it does not have a cytoplasm
Mitosis: prophase
Mitosis: metaphase
Mitosis: Anaphase
Mitosis: Telophase
Cytokinesis purpose
divide cytoplasm to make 2 daughter cells
zygote
sperm and egg makes diploid cell
