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.

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 name of the cell that the daughter cells originate from?

what is the scientific name for the daughter cells


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 is the name of the starting cell that divides into 2 identical cells in mitosis?

The starting cell that divides into two identical cells in mitosis is called a parent cell or a mother cell.


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 is The actual separation or division of the parent cell called?

The actual separation or division of the parent cell is called cytokinesis. This is the process where the cytoplasm of the parent cell is divided into two daughter cells following the completion of mitosis.


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.


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

Daughter cells at the end of mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cells at the beginning. They have the same number of chromosomes and carry the same genetic information. The parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells during mitosis.


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

Cells created from meiosis are different from the parent cell because they have half the number of chromosomes. Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division resulting in four daughter cells, each with a unique combination of genetic material due to crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes. This genetic diversity leads to variation among the offspring.
