Q

Determine if the following statement is true or false, and if false correct the bolded word: If a normal human cell has 46 chromosomes, each daughter cell will have 23 chromosomes.

A

False, 46

17
Q

Determine if the following statement is true or false, and if false correct the bolded word: A mutation is a mass of abnormal cells that develops when cancerous cells divide and grow uncontrollably.

A

False, Tumour

18
Q

Explain the reason why each cell must duplicate the genetic material before mitosis can occur.

A

Each cell must duplicate the genetic material before mitosis so it ensures the two daughter cells are identical to the parent cell. If your DNA isn’t replicated correctly, you basically become a different person after a while.

19
Q

Explain the difference in cell division in a plant and an animal cell.

A

The difference between plant and animal cell division is that during cytokenesis, animal cells cleave into two new cells while plant cells form a new cell wall between the two nuclei. As well, only animal cells have centromeres.
