Normal cells become cancer cells when

gene mutations cause uncontrolled mitotic division

cells do not respond normally to control mechanisms

regulation of cell growth and division is lost

As a result of mitosis, each of the two new cells produced from the parent cell during cytokinesis

receives an exact copy of all the chromosomes present in the parent cell

receives a few chromosomes from the parent cell

donates a chromosome to the parent cell

receives exactly half the chromosomes from the parent cell.

The diagram below shows homologous chromosome during phase 1 of meiosis. Which of the following correctly describes the process being illustrated?

crossing-over in which alleles are exchanged

Mutation in which DNA content of the genes is altered.

segregation of sister chromatids

condensation and segregation of alleles

What is a difference between mitosis and meiosis? Mark ALL that apply!

Mitosis results in diploid (2n) daughter cells and Meiosis results in haploid (n) daughter cells.

Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells and Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells.

Mitosis makes somatic (body) cells and Meiosis makes gametes (egg and sperm cells).

Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and Meiosis occurs in the nucleus.
