Question

use the bank below to complete the \t chart\ on mitosis and meiosis. write the phrases below into the correct column, mitosis, meiosis, or both.
bank:

• makes body cells
• makes reproductive cells
• chromosomes separate
• cells produced for growth and repair
• genetic variation
• results in diploid cells
• results in haploid cells
• four daughter cells produced
• cells divide once
• cells divide twice
• daughter cells identical to parent
• crossing over occurs
• two daughter cells produced

mitosis\tmeiosis

\t

both

Explanation:

Each phrase is sorted based on the core functions, cell products, and division characteristics of mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis creates identical diploid body cells for growth/repair with one division. Meiosis creates genetically varied haploid reproductive cells with two divisions and crossing over. Both involve chromosome separation.

Answer:

MITOSIS	MEIOSIS	BOTH
Cells produced for growth and repair	Four daughter cells produced
Results in diploid cells	Cells divide twice
Cells divide once	Genetic variation
Daughter cells identical to parent	Results in haploid cells
Two daughter cells produced	Crossing Over occurs
