Compare and Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis
Occurs in body cells
Occurs in sex cells
Produces 2 diploid daughter cells
Produces 4 haploid daughter cells
Daughter cells are genetically identical to parent cells
Daughter cells are genetically different from parent cells
Produces new cells
Undergo DNA replication
Starts with a diploid parent cell
Mitosis
Both
Meiosis
The process of cell modification from a generalized cell to one that performs a specific task is called:
Cells of an undifferentiated type that are capable of becoming specialized are called:
What type of organisms have differentiated cells?
Because of mitosis, all cells have _____________ DNA (except for sex cells).
Use the Image Below:
What process is happening in this model?
What is the most essential element in bone marrow?
If a cancerous mutation occurs in a stem cell in the bone marrow, what process does the stem cell go through that would cause the differentiated cells it produces to also be cancerous?
Consider:
How do mitosis and cell differentiation work together to produce and maintain a complex organism?
The rubric below shows point breakdown. Please be sure to include both of the roles - the role of mitosis and the role of cellular differentiation- in producing and maintaining complex organisms. Use the model to support your answer.
