Mitosis Flashcards
As a result of mitosis, each of your baby cells
is genetically identical to all others
when a cell divides via asexual reproduction
each daughter cell receives a nearly perfect copy of the parent cell’s genetic information
During which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle does DNA and chromosome replication occur?
The S Phase of interphase
Which of the following is the correct sequence of stages in mitotic cell division?
Prophase-metaphase-anaphase-telophase
During which phase of mitosis do chromosomes condense
prophase
Nuclear envelopes form during which phase of mitosis
telophase

testes and ovaries; gametes
Which type of eukaryotic cell contains two types of each chromosome
a diploid cell
which of the following occurs during meiosis
Haploid nuclei with unpaired chromosomes are produced from diploid parent nuclei with parent chromosomes
in a haploid daughter cell produced by meiosis, the homologous chromosomes have
separated
How many haploid cells are produced by one diploid cell during meiosis
4
What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis
meiosis produces haploid cells, whereas mitosis produces diploid cells
in meiosis, sister chromatids separate during
anaphase II
