Mitosis and Meiosis Review completely
solved
Name 3 differences and 1 similarity between mitosis and meiosis - ANSWERMitosis &
Meiosis: Both have PMAT
Mitosis: occurs in somatic cells, creates 2 (identical) daughter cells and helps with
growth and repair for asexual reproduction
Meiosis: occurs in reproductive organ cells, creates 4 (different) daughter cells and
helps with producing gametes for sexual reproduction
Human gamete cells contain how many chromosomes? - ANSWER23
Are human gametes haploid or diploid? - ANSWERHaploid
What is the cell cycle? - ANSWERWhen the cell grows,
prepares for division, & divides, forming two daughter cells, each of which begins the
cycle again
What is a chromosome? - ANSWERThreadlike structures in the cell, containing genetic
info (DNA) that is passed on from one generation of cells to the next
What is crossing over? - ANSWERHomologous chromosomes exchange portions of
their chromatids during meiosis (specifically prophase)
What is diploid? - ANSWERTwo sets (2N); description of cell containing a double set of
chromosomes (One from each parent)
What is a gamete? - ANSWERSpecialized reproductive cell involved in sexual
reproduction (sperm or egg cells); formed through meiosis
What is haploid? - ANSWERContaining a single set of chromosomes (sperm or egg
cell) (N)
What is homologous? - ANSWERDescription of chromosomes that occur in pairs;
having a corresponding structure
What is mitosis? - ANSWERNucleus divided into two nuclei, each with same number
and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell
Stage of mitosis where chromatids of each chromosome separated & are moving
toward the poles - ANSWERAnaphase
