Mitosis, Meosis And Binary Fission

Question 1

What are new cells used for?

Answer 1

Growth
Development
Repair

Question 2

Outline the three stages of the cell cycle?

Answer 2

Growth
DNA replication and mitosis
Division

Question 3

What happens in stage 1 of the cell cycle?

Answer 3

The number of sub-cellular structures increases

Question 4

What happens in stage two of the cell cycle?

Answer 4

The chromosomes duplicate and they line up in the centre of the cell, where they are pulled to each pole.

Question 5

What happens in stage three of the cell cycle?

Answer 5

Division involves the cell membrane and cytoplasm to pull apart to create two identical cells

Question 6

Outline the difference between mitosis and meiosis.

Answer 6

Mitosis creates two identical cells
Meiosis produces four different gamete cells

Question 7

What is binary fission?

Answer 7

The process in which prokaryotic organisms divide and reproduce

Question 8

What are the three stages In binary fission?

Answer 8

Grow
DNA replication
Division

Question 9

What is the difference between binary fission and mitosis?

Answer 9

In Binary fission when the plasmids replicate they do not separate to the poles so each daughter cell has a random amount

Question 10

What factors effect the rest of bacterial growth?

Answer 10

Temperature
Moisture
Oxygen
Nutrient availability
