Cell Division

Front 1

In what way is meiosis different from mitosis.

Back 1

meiosis has 2 stages of cell division rather than 1,the cell nucleus divides to produce 4 daughter cells,each with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell.

Front 2

type of cell division that results in 2 daughter cells containing identical sets of chromosomes.

Back 2

mitosis.

Front 3

The stages of mitosis

Back 3

prophase, metaphase,anaphase and telophase.

Front 4

interphase is

Back 4

the resting stage both before and after the cell division sequence.

Front 5

Stage of mitosis were the chromosomes become visible.the centrioles of the cell migrate,one to each pole of the cell, and from them spindle fibres form.The nuclear membrane breaks down.

Back 5

Prophase.

Front 6

What happens in the metaphase stage.

Back 6

the chromosomes arrange themselves along the equator of the cell and attach to the spindle fibres, which start to pull the chromatids apart

Front 7

the spindle fibres contract and pull the chromatids apart, moving them to opposite ends of the cell.

Back 7

Anaphase

Front 8

Discribe what happens in telophase.

Back 8

The spindle fibres disintegrate and a nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes, the cytoplasm divides forming 2 new daughter cells, each containing identical set of chromosomes.the nuclear membrane reforms, the chromosomes unravel and the cell goes into interphase again.

Front 9

in mitosis the nuclear membrane reforms at

Back 9

telophase

Front 10

occurs in the germ cells of the ovary and testis

Back 10

meiosis

Front 11

occurs in the somatic cells of the body.
