Mitosis and Meiosis
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Where does Mitosis take place? | Anywhere is the body |
| How many cells are produced after Mitosis? | Begins with 1 cell ends with 2 |
| # of chromosomes in Human Cells produced by Mitosis? | 46 Chromosomes |
| Type of Cell Produced In Mitosis? | Diploid |
| What does Mitosis Do? | -Replace old Cells -Adds cells to fight infection -growth |
| What is Interphase in Mitosis? | Interphase is the "holding" stage or the stage between two successive cell divisions. |
| What is Prophase in Mitosis? | -Chromatin in the nucleus begins to condense and becomes visible in the light microscope as chromosomes -The nucleolus disappears -Centrioles begin moving to opposite ends of the cell and fibers extend from the centromeres |
| What is Metaphase in Mitosis? | -Spindle fibers align the chromosomes along the middle of the cell nucleus. |
| What is Anaphase in Mitosis? | the stage in mitosis or meiosis following metaphase in which the daughter chromosomes move away from each other to opposite ends of the cell. |
| What is Telophase in Mitosis? | -Chromatids arrive at opposite poles of cell, and new membranes form around the daughter nuclei. -The chromosomes disperse -The spindle fibers disperse, and cytokinesis or the partitioning of the cell may also begin during this stage. |
| What is Cytokinesis? | Is the process in which the cytoplasm of a single eukaryotic cell is divided to form two daughter cells? |
