QuestionAnswer
Mitotic division is the normal process that body cells use to grow new tissue or repair existing tissue.
During mitosis cells divide to form two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell and to each other.
the number of chromosomes remains the same as in the parent cell.
Meiotic division which only occurs in eukaryotic cells, is the process through which gametes or spores are produced.
In meiotic division, a form of cell division occurs that produces haploid daughter cells with half of the species' usual number of chromosomes.
Meiosis produces four daughter cells that are genetically diverse.
If a gamete cell (egg or sperm) is able to unite with the opposite type of gamete cell the chromosomes will combine to yield the full number of chromosome pairs, and normal mitotic cell division can begin.
crossing over process unique to meiosis—can occur.
Crossing over occurs during prophase I when two chromosomes pair up and exchange parts of their DNA.
Crossing over provides genetic diversity between the parents and their offspring.
Genetic variation can also occur when alleles are randomly sorted during meiosis.
Since each offspring receives a different combination of alleles from the parent organisms phenotypic diversity results.
Mutations in genes can occur whenever a segment of DNA is inserted, deleted, or substituted.
Mutations sometimes create changes in an organism's phenotype or the phenotype of its potential offspring, but they also can have no effect on an organism at all.
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, or gametes, of the organism.
Mutations in somatic cells do not affect the genotype of potential offspring.
Mutations increase genetic variability because they change the genotype of an organism.
what comes after interphase? Prophase
What comes after prophase? Metaphase
what comes after metaphase? anaphase
what comes after anaphase? telophase
when does the cell split? during telophase.
the phase that the cell still has string in it? interphase.

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
