Question 1

Mitosis

Answer 1

Provides new cells for growth and repair of damaged cells and maintains diploid chromosome complement

Question 2

Diploid cells

Answer 2

from 2 chromotids

Question 5

Question 7

Step 5

Answer 7

Cytoplasm divides

Separated chlorides called chromosomes

Question 8

Step 6

Answer 8

2 daughter cells containing the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell

Question 9

Importance of maintaining diploid chromosome number

Answer 9

So that each daughter cell can receive an identical copy of the parent cell chromosome

Question 10

Daughter cells have the same chromosome complement as the original cell. Why is this important

Answer 10

Ensures no genetic nformation is lost
