Is the division of one cell into two daughter cells?
Cytokinesis is the physical process of cell division, which divides the cytoplasm of a parental cell into two daughter cells.
What is the result of two daughter cells?
Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells.
What is it called when a cell makes two daughter cells?
Mitosis is a process of nuclear division in eukaryotic cells that occurs when a parent cell divides to produce two identical daughter cells.
Does meiosis 1 produce 2 daughter cells?
Both Meiosis I and II have the same number and arrangement of phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Both produce two daughter cells from each parent cell. However, Meiosis I begins with one diploid parent cell and ends with two haploid daughter cells, halving the number of chromosomes in each cell.
Why does mitosis result in two daughter cells that contain the same genetic information?
Then in mitosis, the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate, so each daughter cell receives one chromatid from each chromosome. The result of mitosis is two identical daughter cells, genetically identical to the original cell, all having 2N chromosomes.
How many daughter cells are formed from a single cell in mitosis?
two
Mitosis is a process where a single cell divides into two identical daughter cells (cell division).
Why the parent cell and both daughter cells must have the same number of chromosomes?
Before mitosis begins, the chromosomes in the nucleus of the cell undergo replication. This is because mitosis produces two daughter cells identical to the parent cell; so the number of chromosomes in the parent and daughter cells must be the same. Mitosis produces two diploid cells from one diploid cell.
What are the differences between meiosis 1 and 2?
In meiosis I, homologous chromosomes separate, while in meiosis II, sister chromatids separate. Meiosis II produces 4 haploid daughter cells, whereas meiosis I produces 2 diploid daughter cells. Genetic recombination (crossing over) only occurs in meiosis I.
How many daughter cells are produced at the end of mitosis?
two daughter cells
At the end of mitosis, the two daughter cells will be exact copies of the original cell. Each daughter cell will have 30 chromosomes.
