Chromosomes in pairs in diploid
5
Q
Mitosis
A
form of nuclear division where one nucleus divides to form 2 nuclei
6
Q
Cleavage
A
Appears in animal cell and deepens dividing the cytoplasm in 2 and cell splits
7
Q
Vesicles
A
Small membrane bound sacs that splits the cell
Area between the 2 adjacent cell - mid lamella
8
Q
Cancer
A
Uncontrollable rate of cell division
9
Q
Benign tumours
A
Not life threatening + don’t invade
Stops dividing after some time
10
Q
Malignant tumors
A
Invade other cell + move around and divides indefinitely
Movement - Metastasis
11
Q
