Question 1

What is the primary purpose of mitosis in multicellular organisms?

Answer 1

nag po-produce ng body cells. for growth and repair ng damaged tissue.

Question 2

In which phase of mitosis do chromosomes become visible?

Answer 2

prophase. nagiging mas visible sila kasi condensed na sila.

Question 3

How do the spindle fibers function during mitosis?

Answer 3

helps the chromosomes to move to the opposite side of the cell. atsaka sila ang humihila sa mga chromosomes (chromatids/sister chromatids. TAMA BA???? EWAN KO NA NALILITO NA AKO) para maghiwalay

Question 4

What role does the centromere play in chromosome separation?

Answer 4

nagho-hold sa sister chromatids, tapos siya rin yung dinidikitan (or hinihila or kinakapitan) ng spindle fibers para maghiwalay sila.

Question 5

How does cytokinesis differ in plant and animal cells?

Question 6

What are the stages of mitosis, and what occurs during each stage?

Answer 6

• Prophase: nag co-condense ang chromosomes at nag fo-form na yung spindle fibers.

•	Metaphase: Nag-aalign ang chromosomes sa gitna/equatorial plate.

•	Anaphase: Naghiwalay ang sister chromatids at hinihila papunta sa opposite sides. (walang forever)

•	Telophase: Bumabalik ang nuclear membrane, nagiging less condensed ang chromosomes.

•	Cytokinesis: Hiwalay na ang cells.

Question 7

How does DNA replication relate to mitosis?

Question 8

What is the significance of the G2 phase before a cell enters mitosis?

Question 9

How does mitosis contribute to tissue repair and growth?

Answer 9

nag po-produce ng body cells. like kapag may sugat ka, gumagawa ng cell through mitosis para ma repair ‘yung damaged tissue. tas sa growth, para tumagkad ka or lumaki.

Question 10

Why is mitosis often described as a process of “division to multiply”?

Question 11

How does meiosis ensure genetic diversity in sexually reproducing organisms?

Answer 11

Sa meiosis, nagkakaroon ng crossing over at independent assortment, kaya iba-iba ang genes ng bawat offspring.nagkakaroon ng genetic variety.

Question 12

What is the significance of crossing over during meiosis?

Answer 12

nag e-exchange ng genetic material.

Question 13

How many rounds of cell division occur in meiosis, and how do they differ?

Answer 13

two. meiosis I (nag-separate ang homologous chromosomes) at meiosis II (nag-separate ang sister chromatids).

Question 14

Explain the role of homologous chromosomes in meiosis.

Answer 14

homologous chromosomes may parehong genes pero galing sa magkaibang parent. paternal homologous, maternal homologous.

Question 15

At what stage does synapsis and the formation of tetrads occur in meiosis?

Answer 15

prophase I, nagpa-pair ang homologous chromosomes (synapsis) at bumubuo ng tetrads.

Question 16

How does independent assortment during meiosis I contribute to genetic variation?

Answer 16

randomly nag-aarrange ang homologous chromosomes kaya iba-iba ang combination ng genes sa offspring.

Question 17

In which stage of meiosis are sister chromatids separated?

Answer 17

meiosis II. specifically sa anaphase II.

Question 18

How does the chromosome number in gametes compare to the original cell?

Question 19

What is the significance of meiosis in sexual reproduction?

Question 20

Why is meiosis referred to as a reduction division?

Answer 20

kasi nababawasan ‘yung number ng chromosome, from diploid (46) to haploid (23).

Question 21

How does meiosis differ from mitosis in terms of the end product?
