cell division, meiosis & mitosis Flashcards
what is the process for mitosis?
a cell is taken ➡️ chromosomes in nucleus make clones ➡️ chromosomes line up in centre of cell ➡️ copies operate and move ➡️ cell splits in two ➡️ forms 2 daughter cells
what happens to the 46 chromosomes?
somatic cell of 46 ➡️ doubles to get 92 called DNA replication ➡️ 92 splits in half foe cell division of 2 sets of 46 ➡️ now have 2 genetically identical daughter cells
is there 1 or 2 parents with mitosis?
1
does meiosis have 1 or 2 parents?
2 ➡️ 23 chromosomes from each = 46 altogether
what is the process of meiosis?
cell duplicates its DNA ➡️ in 1st division chromosomes pair and line up ➡️ pairs are pulled apart ➡️ some chromosomes from each parent go into new cell ➡️ 2nd division chromosome line up in middle again ➡️ arms of chromosomes pulled apart ➡️ 4 gametes produced
