Best Answer

In animal cells (meiosis) the parent (which is a diploid cell with homologous pairs of chromosomes) seperates into two daughter cells containing the replicated pairs of sister chromatids. The process of meiosis is begun again (meiosis II) from which the sister chromatids separate into individual chromosomes. Then, the two diploid cells separate into 4 haploid daughter cells containing 1 chromosome. This is a generalized answer without the steps of meiosis described.

Are the cell created from meiosis identical or different from parent cell?

it is different from the parent cells because they split from the parent cells


How are daughter cells different then the parent cell?

Daughter cells are smaller in volume than the parent cell. This is because they split the cytoplasm of the parent cell during cytokinesis.


When the daughter cells split or divide from the parent cell it is called?

Mitosis


Do all cells have a parent-cell?

All cells originate from a previous cell, and if there is only one of them it is called the "parent cell". In the context of reproducing, the cell made from a parent cell is called the "daughter cell".


Parent cell are called?

parent cells are called big giant cocks called dicks


What is the other term of parent cell?

When a cell undergoes cell division, it splits to produce two new cells. These new cells are called daughter cells. The original cell which splits to produce the daughter cells is known as the parent cell.


How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?

The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA


Type of cell produced in mitosis?

Sister Cells or Daughter Cells. (basically they clone themselves) But when they split both cells are new, hence the daughter cells.


What process produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to there parent cells?

This process is called cell division or mitosis.


How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in?

The two daughter cells that result from mitosis are diploid just like the parent cell. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis, 4 daughter cells result each with half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had and are therefore called haploid.


How many cells are reproduced from one parent cell?

It depends on how the parent cell multiplies. In mitosis 1 parent cell devides into 2 cells. In meiosis 1 parent cell devides into 4 cells.


What happens to the cell wall during mitosis?

It is called cytokinesis, and it pinches in to complete the division of the mother cell into two daughter cells
