9 Questions
What are the two distinct types of cell division in eukaryotes?
Mitosis and meiosis
When does DNA replication occur in the cell cycle?
During the S stage of interphase
What is the main outcome of mitosis?
Genetically identical daughter cells
What is the result of meiosis in terms of chromosome number?
The number of chromosomes is reduced from two of each type to one of each type
What is the main difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces genetically diverse gametes.

What is the role of meiosis in the cell cycle?
Production of genetically diverse gametes for sexual reproduction
What is the significance of the S stage of interphase in cell division?
It is when DNA replication occurs
