Cell Division Flashcards
1
Q
Cytokinesis
A
The entire cell divides to form two identical daughter cells
2
Q
Why do multicellular organisms require a continuous supply of new cells?
A
Development, growth, repair
3
Q
What is the cell cycle?
A
The series of steps that take place as a cell grows and divides
4
Q
The steps of the cell cycle:
A
- Cellular growth - the cell gets larger and produces more sub cellular structures such as mitrochondria and ribosomes
2.DNA replication- chromosomes duplicate so that each consists of two arms - More cell growth
- Mitosis
- Cytokinesis
5
Q

A
Genetically identical
