Mitosis & Meiosis Flashcards
Sequence of events cells go through in order to divide and grow
Cell Cycle
Mitosis results in _ genetically ____ daughter cells
2; Identical
1st stage of the cell cycle when the cell grows and carries out normal functions
Interphase
2nd stage of the cell cycle, chromosomes condense and become visible, nuclear envelope breaks down
Prophase
3rd stage of cell cycle, chromosomes line up in the middle
Metaphase
4th stage of the cell cycle, chromosomes are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell, cell division begins
Anaphase
5th and final stage, new nuclear envelope forms around chromosomes, chromosomes uncoil and become less visible, cell then divides into 2 daughter cells
Telophase
Meiosis results in __ genetically ___ daughter cells
4; Diverse
Types of Meiosis
Meiosis 1 & 2
Each meiosis cell has about __ number of chromosomes as original cell
1/2
Once meiosis one ends __ daughter cells are left and meiosis 2 begins
2
6th stage of meiosis, the daughter cells contain 1/2 the chromosomes from the original cells
Prophase II
7th stage of meiosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell again
Metaphase II
8th stage of meiosis, the sister chromatids are pulled apart to opposite sides of the cell
Anaphase II
9th and final stage of meiosis, cells divide into 4 genetically diverse daughter cells
Telophase II
