cell division Flashcards
produces genetically identical daughter cells
mitosis
produces 2 cells
mitosis
involves 2 cell divisions
meiosis
produces diploid cells
mitosis
produces genetically different cells
meiosis
produces haploid cells
meiosis
produces 4 cells
meiosis
involves 1 cell division
mitosis
generates all adult cells except gametes
mitosis
only occurs in ovary, testes and anther
meiosis
used for asexual reproduction
mitosis
occurs throughout human body and plan
mitosis
used for sexual reproduction
meiosis
process of mitosis
a diploid cell replicates its DNA to form chromatids
Chromatids joined together at the centromere
nuclear membrane breaks down
chromatids split and line up across the centre of the cell attached by special spindle fibres,
chromatids are pulled apart and move to opposite ends of the cell.
the cytoplasm and cell membrane divide to form two identical cells.
process of meiosis
the parent cell replicates its DNA
chromatids are joined together at a single point.
cell membrane breaks down.
homologous(the same type) pairs of chromosomes join together.
the homologous pairs exchange sections of DNA and they attach to the spindle fibres in pairs at the centromere.
the homologous pairs are pulled apart move to opposite ends of the cell
the cell divides.
the chromosomes then line up along the centromere and attach to the spindle fibres
the chromatids seperate and move to opposite ends of the cell
each cell divides again.
