CELL DIVISION Flashcards
(16 cards)
It’s the process by which a cell divides to form two new
cells
Cell division
what are the three types of cell division or cell reproduction in organism
Binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis
Divides forming two new identical cells
Binary fission
Cell or organism growth, and Replacement or repair of damaged cells
Mitosis
formation of sex cell or gametes
Meiosis
what are the 3 major steps in binary fission
DNA replication, chromosome segregation and cytokinesis (separation)
DNA is copies resulting into two identical chromosomes
DNA replication
Chromosomes separate and move towards ends (poles) of cell
Chromosomes segregation
cytoplasm divides forming two (2) cells
cytokinesis (separation)
Cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same
number and kind of chromosomes as the parent cel
mitosis
Cell division that results in four daughter cells
meiosis
give the 2 eukaryotic cell division
mitosis and meiosis
what are the 2 main steps of mitosis
mitosis and cytokinesis
what are the 4 steps of mitosis
prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
reducing of the number of chromosomes. accompanied by cytokinesis
meiosis I
similar to the events of mitosis
follows interkinesis, no chromosomes replication between meiosis I and II
Meiosis II
