Mitosis

1. Identify 4 body parts in which mitosis takes place: Arms, Legs, Torso, Head

2. How many daughter cells are produced by 1 parent cell? Two

3. How similar are daughter cells to each other and to the original parent cells? They're identical

4. If a parent cells begins with 46 chromesomes, how many chromesomes will there be in a daughter cell? Also 46 since they're identical.

5. Are the daughter cells produced Haploid or Daploid? Daploid

1. Where in the body does Meiosis occur in a human:
Male: seminiferous tubules
Female: Oocyte/Oocytes

2. What kind of cells are produced by meiosis in a human:
