STUDY GUIDE

1. Understand the difference between mitosis and meiosis

2. What is cell division and what are stages involved

3. What is the difference between Haploid and Diploiod.

4. Why are the cells in mitosis identical and what is the difference between mitosis in plant and animal cells

5. What is genetic variation and which type of cell division leads to that variation. Secondly what phase does this occur and what is the name of the process called. Third why is it named as such.

6. Why are the cells in meiosis haploid in meiosis at the end of cytokinesis

7. Why is it important for cell replication to create DNA that is identical  before the cell enters mitosis and/or meiosis

8. If a cell contains 50 somatic chromosomes how many chromosomes will be in the gametes.

9. What is the difference between gametes and somatic cells

10. What is nondisjunction and how does that effect the zygote of a fertilized cell.
