Mitosis creates TWO new cells, which are used for growth and repair. Each of these new cells has the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, 46 and it happens to reproduce and replace damaged cells and to allow an organism to grow.

Im doing the science gcse exam with it in today so i need to know it :D

What are cells formed during mitosis called?

Cells formed during mitosis are called daughter cells. These cells are genetically identical to the parent cell from which they were formed.

A star-shaped structure formed during the mitosis of a cell.


What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?

Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.


What occurs when cells divide to form two new nuclei that are identical to each other?

This known as mitosis, which repairs damage and helps us grow.

How many cells are formed during mitosis and are they identical?

Mitotic cell division, which includes mitosis followed by cytokinesis, results in two genetically identical daughter cells.


The two daughter nuclei are formed during?

During the telophase stage of mitosis and meiosis two daughter nuclei are formed. The daughter nuclei begin forming the two ends of the cell.


What phase centromere formed?

The centromere is formed during the G2 phase of the cell cycle, as the cell prepares for cell division. It is essential for the proper alignment and segregation of chromosomes during mitosis.


Are the 2 cells formed during mitosis identical or no?

yes they are identical to the cell parent in asexual reproduction.


Does mitosis happen before or after the zygote is formed?

The zygote results from the combination of gametes (sperm and egg) during fertilization. The zygote undergoes mitosis after this, so that it can divide and grow into an organism.


What happens when a cell under go mitosis?

Mitosis is broken up into 4 phases, Prophase, Metophase, Anaphase, and Telophase. During these phases the DNA, which was replicated during Interphase, split and 2 new cells are formed.


When does the spindle fiber formed?

Spindle fibers are formed during the metaphase stage of mitosis (cell division) when the chromosomes are tightly condensed and aligned at the center of the cell. Spindle fibers pull the chromosomes in opposite directions toward the opposite poles thus allowing the daughter cells to obtain a copy of the genome
