When a body cell reproduces, the purpose is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. Before mitosis, the DNA in the parent cell replicates, resulting in a doubling of the chromosomes. Mitosis separates the chromosomes into two new nuclei, identical to the parent cell. Then the cell divides by cytokinesis, producing two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as each other and the parent cell.

What process makes 2 diploid cells?

Mitosis is the process that produces a diploid cell from two haploid cells. It is defined as a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth.


Circle the letter of each sentence that is true about mitosis?

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells Mitosis occurs in gametes Mitosis results in two daughter cells Mitosis results in genetically identical daughter cells True statements: Mitosis occurs in somatic cells Mitosis results in two daughter cells Mitosis results in genetically identical daughter cells


Does meiosis make haploid or diploid cell?

Meiosis produces haploid cells. During meiosis, a diploid cell undergoes two rounds of cell division to form four haploid daughter cells. This process is essential for sexual reproduction as it ensures the correct number of chromosomes in the offspring.


What process of cell division produces an exact replica of the cell?

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells. You can remember that the form of cell division that produces two identical cells has a plus sign in it...the "t." Then you can remember that you get one cell plus another just like it.


What kind of cells does the process mitosis and meiosis make?

Mitosis produces cells that are identical to the original cell, called daughter cells. Meiosis forms cells with half the amount of genetic material, which are used in sexual reproduction to create gametes such as sperm and eggs.

If a cell has 13 chromosomes before mitosis how many chromosomes will the new cell have after mitosis?

13. it makes an exact replica of itself, so just multiply the number by 2, which makes 26. After you make an exact replica of the 13 chromosomes (which is now 26, since you've multiplied it), the cell has to split in two in order to create 2 daughter cells, which is the main reason for mitosis. 26 / 2 = 13, 13 chromosomes each for two daughter cells.
