Mitosis Vs. Meiosis

Question 1

What is produced in mitosis?

Answer 1

2 genetically identical cells

Question 2

What is produced in meiosis?

Answer 2

produces gametes but in the end produces 4 genetically different haploid cells

Question 3

Both Mitosis and Meiosis start with what type of cells?

Answer 3

diploid cells so 2n meaning they have 2 sets of chromosomes

Question 4

Is interphase part of meiosis or mitosis?

Answer 4

no it comes before because the chromosomes are duplicated before we start

Question 5

What happens in prophase of mitosis?

Answer 5

• the nuclear envelope breaks down and the chromosomes condense making them visible
• centrioles are moving to the poles of the cell

Question 6

What happens in metaphase of mitosis?

Answer 6

centrioles connect spindle fibers to the chromosomes and then the chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell

Question 7

What happens in anaphase of mitosis?

Answer 7

the chromatids are pulled away by the spindle fibers and they move to opposite sides of the poll and they are identical

Question 8

What happens in telophase of mitosis?

Answer 8

nuclear envelope reforms and the chromosomes uncondense

Question 9

What happens in prophase 1 of meiosis?

Answer 9

chromosomes are actually matching up with their homologous pairs and and chromosomes are exchanging genetic information by crossing over
