- Cell Division
- Mitosis
- Mitosis makes new cells for growth and repair
- Mitosis is when a cell reproduces itself by splitting to form identical offspring
- When a cell divides it makes new cells with the same number of chromosomes
- When a cell gets a signal to divide it needs to duplicate its DNA meaning there is one copy for each new cell
- Asexual reproduction uses mitosis
- Meiosis
- Meiosis involves two divisions
- Meiosis produces cell with only half of the original number chromosomes
- The result of Meiosis is the production of gametes
- Four gametes are produced with only a single set of chromosomes in them
- Exam question example: Describe how a cell divides to form gametes
- Mitosis
