Practice assignments in class: #1
Look at the image included in this slide, one is mitosis and the other is meiosis.
A. Which one is which?
B. Please explain your answer in detail. (use key words like chromosomes, gametes, body cells, haploid and diploid)
Slide 7 - Slide
Practice assignments in class: #1
A. The left is meiosis and the right is mitosis.
B. With mitosis the body copies the cells and chromosomes to produce new diploid body cells. With meiosis the body splits the chromosomes one extra time to produce haploid gametes.
