Cell Division, DNA replication, Mitosis and Meiosis Flashcards
1
Q
What is cell division
A
the process whereby parents cells divide, resulting in the daughter cell
2
Q
What is DNA replication
A
before division, the genetic material must be duplicated. DNA double helix unwinds into 2 strands separate
3
Q
Explain Mitosis
A
One round of division is broken into serval stages.
4
Q
What are the 3 stages of Mitosis
A
Lining up chromosomes, Separation of Chromatids, formation of two nuclei and result in 2 diploid cells becoming 1
5
Q
Explain Meiosis
A
Meiosis involves 2 rounds of division
6
Q
What are the 3 steps
A
Corssing over of chromosomes, Lining up of chromosomes and migration of chromosomes.
