| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| is the normal process that body cells use to grow new tissue or repair existing tissue. | Mitotic division |
| During mitosis, cells divide to | form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell |
| the number of chromosomes remains the same as in the | parent cell. |
| What Is The First Stage In Mitosis | Interphase |
| What Is The second Stage In Mitosis | prophase |
| What Is The third Stage In Mitosis | metaphase |
| What Is The fourth Stage In Mitosis | anaphase |
| What Is The last Stage In Mitosis | telophase |
| which only occurs in eukaryotic cells, | Meiotic division |
| In meiotic division, a form of cell division occurs that | produces haploid daughter cells with half of the species' usual number of chromosomes. |
| These resulting daughter cells are called | gametes |
| and they aid organisms in their | sexual reproduction. |
| If a gamete cell (egg or sperm) is able to unite with the opposite type of gamete cell (sperm or egg), the chromosomes will combine to yield the full number of chromosome pairs, and normal | mitotic cell division can begin. |
| During meiosis | crossing over Occurs |
| Crossing over occurs during | prophase I |
| Crossing over provides genetic diversity between the | parents and their offspring. |
| can also occur when alleles are randomly sorted during meiosis | Genetic variation |
| in genes can occur whenever a segment of DNA is inserted, deleted, or substituted. | Mutations |
| Mutations sometimes create changes in an organism's | phenotype |
| Mutations that have no effect on an organism are called | silent mutations. |
| Mutations will only be passed on to an organism's offspring in the mutation occurs in the | sex cells of the organism |
| Mutations in somatic cells do not affect the genotype of | potential offspring. |
| Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are What to each other and to the parent cells. | identical |
| What Is The Last Stage In Meiosis | Telophase II |
