Question | Answer |
---|---|
Produces daughter cells that have the same number of chromosomes (genetically identical) as the parent cell | mitosis |
Produces daughter cells that have half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell | meiosis |
Chromosomes that are the same length and have similar banding patterns | homologous |
Cell division that typically produces gametes | meiosis |
Cell division that is necessary for growth of an organism | mitosis |
Chromosomes line up in single file on the equatorial plate | metaphase of mitosis |
Chromosomes are lined up in tetrads on the equatorial plate | metaphase I of meiosis |
The centromere breaks when spindle fibres tug on it. | anaphase of mitosis OR anaphase II of meiosis |
