What is the name given to the process in which two daughter cellls are formed that are exactly like the parent cell?

The process is called mitosis, which is a type of cell division that results in the formation of two daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.


How does a new cell formed by mitosis compare with the orginal cell?

A new cell membrane forms around each group of chromosomes


What is the given to the original cell before it divides?

In eukaryotes, there are two distinct types of cell division: a vegetative division, whereby each daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell (mitosis), and a reproductive cell division, whereby the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells is reduced by half to produce haploid gametes (meiosis).


What is the importance of seed in the life cycle of plant?

The seed is where the mitosis starts if given the nutrition to start the cycle. Then the cells splits up faster than American marriages.


Explain how the chromosomes number is reduced from diploid to haploid through the stages of meiosis?

During meiosis, the number of chromosomes in a cell are split in half so that each daughter cell becomes haploid. This means that given 2n chromosomes, after meiosis I, each cell has 2n chromatids, or n chromosomes. After anaphase II, each daughter cell ends up with n chromosomes, each made up of 1 chromatid. Rearrangement is the process that ensures genetic diversity, which allows for crossover and independent assortment during prophase I.

How do mitosis and meiosis differ among humans chickens and alligators?

Meiosis differ among humans and alligators because the number of chromosomes that is given from the parents.


How it is that in meiosis you end up with 4 different daughter cells but in mitosis you end up with 2 identical daughter cells?

In meiosis when male and female gametes that are 2n in condition fuse they form 4 daughter cells which are 1n in condition while, in mitosis the two gametes form 2 daughter cells 2n in condition

What is the mitosis formula used to calculate the rate of cell division in a given population?

The mitosis formula used to calculate the rate of cell division in a given population is the number of cells in mitosis divided by the total number of cells, multiplied by 100 to get the percentage of cells undergoing division.


Term given to the splitting of the cytoplasm?

Cytokinesis is the term used to describe the splitting of the cytoplasm during cell division. It occurs after the separation of the duplicated chromosomes in mitosis or meiosis. The process results in two daughter cells with their own nuclei.

What are the results and implications of meiosis?

Meiosis is the process of dividing a diploid cell into haploid cells. The main results of meiosis are four haploid cells. Genetically, these cells differ from the diploid cell and from each other.

Can all cells in an adult undergo mitotic division at any given time?

No, not all cells are capable of mitotic division in an adult. Certain types of cells, called permanent cells (eg. heart muscle cells and brain cells) can not undergo mitosis in an adult. Another type of cell that cannot undergo mitosis is the mammalian red blood cell - which has no nucleus so cannot divide.
