24
What do you call a cell with a full set of chromosomes (46)
A diploid cell
25
What do you call cell with a half set of chromosomes (23)
A haploid cell
26
Do bacteria cells go through mitosis like a eukaryotic cells?
No, bacteria do not have nucleus
27
How do bacteria cells divide?
Bacteria cells spilt in half called binary fission
28
Why do our body cells divide?
Our body cells divide to replace dead cells, to grow, to develop
