Cell division/mitosis

Question 1

Why is mitosis important in the animal body

Answer 1

cell division by mitosis is essential to produce cells for growth and repair

Question 2

why is meiosis important in the animal body

Answer 2

cell division by meiosis is essential for producing sex cells

Question 3

what are products of mitosis

Answer 3

-mitosis produces exact genetic copies of cell
-this results in two genetically identical daughter cells which are also identical to the parents cell
-each daughter cell is a diploid=it has two complete sets of hormones

Question 4

mitosis steps:
1,interphase

Answer 4

Chromosomes duplicate

Question 5

mitosis steps:
2,prophase

Answer 5

chromosomes condense and become visible. Spindle formed in the cytoplasm by the centrioles

Question 6

mitosis steps:
3,metaphase

Answer 6

chromosomes align along the equatorial plate (middle) of the spindle

Question 7

mitosis steps:
4,anaphase

Answer 7

chromosomes pulled to opposite sides forming 2 genetically identical groups

Question 8

mitosis steps:
5,telophase

Answer 8

nuclear membrane forms around chromosomes and cell splits into 2 daughter cells
