CELL DIVISION WORKSHOP

Write the questions and answers in your notebook.

1. What happens during the Interphase?

The cell grows and duplicate the DNA

2. Does the interphase occur before or after the division process?

This occurs before because the cell must to prepare before she starts to divide

3. In which cells does the mitosis occur?

Only in Somatic cells

4. How many cells are produced at the end of mitosis?

At the result of Mitosis there are two cells

5. Describe the characteristics of cells produced by mitosis

The cell divides in two cells with the same information of the mum

6. How many rounds of division does mitosis have?

One round

7. What happens during cytokinesis?

is when the cell divides in two

8. In which cells does the meiosis occur?

In sexual cells

9. How many cells are produced at the end of meiosis?

Four cells

10. Describe the characteristics of cells produced by meiosis

In Meiosis we have two rounds, Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2; in Meiosis 1 we have as result 2 cells, and in the result of Meiosis 2 we have
other two cells, so we add them together 2+2 and the result will be four cells in total.

11. How many rounds of division does meiosis have?

two rounds Meiosis 1 and Meiosis 2
12. What is the importance of mitosis process?
It is important because, mitosis makes to our bodies develop, and is also important because it replaces the damaged or old cells.

13. What is the importance of meiosis process?

14. Draw a diagram to represent mitosis

15. Draw a diagram to represent meiosis

16. Write the name of the phase according to the process that occurs:
 Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell
 Two nuclei appear
 DNA condenses into chromosomes
 Chromosomes move to the poles of the cell

17. Complete the number of chromosomes for each case.

 A mosquito has 6 chromosomes in its cells. At the end of:

Mitosis will have:
Meiosis will have:
 A snail has 24 chromosomes in its cells. At the end
of: Mitosis will have:
Meiosis will have:
 A giraffe has 30 chromosomes in its cells. At the end of:
Mitosis will have:
Meiosis will have:
 A hawk has 68 chromosomes in its cells. At the end of:
 Mitosis will have:
Meiosis will have:
 A lamprey has 174 chromosomes in its cells. At the end
of: Mitosis will have:
Meiosis will have:
