CELL DIVISION Flashcards
What is the role of (MITOSIS)?
The first stage of cell division in a eukaryotes and it is the division of the cell nucleus
How does the PROCESS of (CELL DIVISION) work?
Prokaryotes have simple cell division–separate the contents of the cell into two parts
Eukaryotes have complex cell division–occurs in two stages, mitosis and cytokinesis
What is a (EGG)?
FemAle reproductive cell and capable of active movement
What is a (SPERM)?
Sperm cells ca not divide and have a limited life span,they are haploids
What is (MEIOSIS)?
The process of reduction division in which the number of chromosomes per cell is cut in half through separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
What OCCURS during (MEIOSIS) to INCREASE the (GENETIC DIVERSITY)?
The (OFFSPRING) are DIFFERENT from their parents BECAUSE THE (daughter cell) contains the EXCAT SAME (DNA) as the parent cell.
