24 cards from this deck
Nuclear division producing daughter cells with half the chromosomes
Haploid cells
Ovaries and testes
Sperm and egg cells
Pollen grains and egg cells
46 chromosomes (diploid)
23 chromosomes (haploid)
Produces haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) for sexual reproduction
Produces haploid gametes so fertilisation restores diploid number
Haploid gametes combine during fertilisation
Produces cells with different gene combinations, creating genetic variation
Mitosis maintains, meiosis halves
Mitosis: identical genes; Meiosis: different combinations
Mitosis: 1 round; Meiosis: 2 rounds
Nuclear division producing cells with half the chromosomes
46 (diploid)
23 (haploid)
Produces haploid gametes for sexual reproduction
Haploid gametes fuse at fertilisation, restoring diploid
Produces cells with different gene combinations
Crossing over and independent assortment
