Gametes (sex cells – sperm or (egg)
What is the Diploid number
2N = 46
What is the Haploid number
N = 23
Somatic Cells are produced through the process of…
MITOSIS
Gametes (sex cells) are produced through the process of…
MEIOSIS
An identical copy of your DNA is found in…
the nucleus
Every time a cell divides through mitosis
each chromosome is copied (replicated) before the division
Each new cell gets an identical copy of
DNA
What is the process of Mitosis?
Mitosis is the division of a parent cell into two new daughter cells (
Interphase
The chromosomes go to the middle
Prophase
Chromosomes pair up
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle
Anaphase
Sister chromatids pulled apart by spindle fibres
Telophase and Cytokinesis
Cell pinches in the middle and become two identical daughter cells
