10 Questions
Which type of cell division produces sperms and eggs in higher forms of organisms?
Meiosis
What is the significance of the reduction in chromosome number in sperms and eggs?
It allows for the production of genetically diverse offspring
What are the two phases of a cell cycle?
Interphase and M-phase
Which type of cell division produces two similar independent cells in amoeba or bacteria?
Mitosis
What is the purpose of the cell cycle?
To duplicate DNA
During interphase, the daughter cells produced from a mother cell
have less cytoplasm than their mother cell
In late G1 phase, cells have two options, which are
entering the synthesis phase or starting the next division
During the synthesis phase (S),
the chromosomes are duplicated
The interphase was formerly called the 'resting phase' because
no change in chromosomes is visible externally
During the first growth phase (G1),
the mitochondria divide
