Mitosis and Meiosis

TermDefinition
Mitosis Process of cell division in which one parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells with the same number and kinds of chromosomes.
Meiosis Process of cell division which results in formation of gametes (sperm and egg) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
The phases of the cell cycle Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, Cytokinesis.
Interphase Before mitosis begins, chromosomes are copied
Prophase Mitosis begins. The nuclear membrane dissolves. Chromosomes condense into rod-like structures.
Metaphase The chromosomes line up along the equator of the cell
Anaphase Chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell
Telophase The nuclear membrane forms around the two sets of chromosomes, and the chromosomes unwind. Mitosis is complete.
Cytokinesis In cells that lack a cell wall, the cell pinches in two. In cells that have a cell wall, a cell plate forms between the two new cells.
Why cells do mitosis To repair, grow, and replace
How many times a cell divides during mitosis 1 time
How many daughter cells are produced during mitosis 2 identical daughter cells
The number of chromosomes change during mitosis No, the number of chromosomes stay the same
The final result after mitosis 2 identical daughter cells
The final result of mitosis is diploid or haploid Diploid
Why cells do meiosis For sexual reproduction
How many daughter cells are produced during meiosis 4 identical daughter cells
The number of chromosomes change during meiosis Yes, the number of chromosomes are split during cell division
The final result of meiosis 4 sex cells, 1/2 the number of chromosomes than parent cell
The final result of meiosis is diploid or haploid Haploid

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
