mitosis and meiosis

Question 1

what are the phases in mitosis

Answer 1

1. interphase 1
2. interphase 2
3. prophase
4. metaphase
5. anaphase
6. telophase
7. cytokinesis

Question 2

describe phase 1 and 2 of mitosis

Answer 2

interphase one and two
cell simply grows

cell continues growing, starts duplicating DNA

growth continues while cell prepares for mitotic division

Question 3

describe phase 3 of mitosis

Answer 3

prophase

mitotic spindle is created

Question 4

describe phase 4 of mitosis

Answer 4

metaphase

the chromosomes have been lined up in the middle of the spindle fiber

Question 5

describe phase 5 of mitosis

Answer 5

anaphase

the chromosomes are being pulled away from each other to the poles of the spindle fiber

Question 6

describe phase 6 of mitosis

Answer 6

telophase

cleavage flow begins and chromosomes split into 2

Question 7

describe phase 7 of mitosis

Answer 7

cytokinesis

chromosomes have been split one ends, the next repeats the cycle

Question 8

what is mitosis?

Answer 8

creates two diploid somatic daughter cells that are clones of the parent cell.

A somatic cell spends most of its time in interphase, growing and replicating DNA in preparation for mitosis.

Question 9

what is meiosis

Answer 9

basically it is mitosis but it goes through the stages twice

creates four haploid gamete daughter cells, each containing half of the original cell’s genetic material.
