Mitosis, Meiosis, or Both?
a process of cell divison
both
chromatids are pulled to opposite ends of the cell
both
chromosomes line up at the equator of the cell
both
chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
both
chromosomes make copies of themselves
both
chromosomes show up as the original and a copy joined together
both
interphase occurs
both
occurs in multicellular organisms
both
takes place in a series of steps
both
takes place inside of sex organs
both
chromosome pairs line up in the middle of the cell
meiosis
chromosomes "find" their homologs
meiosis
divided into 2 major divisions
meiosis
forms 4 cells from 1
meiosis
forms cell with the number of chromosomes reduced by half compared to the original cell
meiosis
forms haploid cells from a diploid cell
meiosis
gametes are made
meiosis
homologous chromosomes move to opposite ends of the cells
meiosis
needs to occur before fertilization
meiosis
results in sex cells being made
meiosis
sperm or egg cells are made
meiosis
body cells are made
mitosis
forms 2 cells from 1
mitosis
forms cells with the number of chromosomes the same as in the original cell
mitosis
forms diploid cells from a diploid cell
mitosis
occurs in unicellular organisms
mitosis
replaces body cells
mitosis
results in growth of an organism
mitosis
results in repair of an organism
mitosis
takes place just after fertilization
