Week 4: Mitosis & Meiosis

99% of our cells undergo Mitosis....cell division to replace and grow cells identical cells (diploid cells)

1% of our cells undergo Meiosis....cell division to create sex cells (haploid cells)

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells.

Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells.

To understand these two processes, undertake the nearpod presentation....firstly, download nearpod onto your device or open www.nearpod.com

Task: Create a Venn Diagram of Mitosis and Meiosis


Using the prompts below and the assessment rubric above, create a Venn Diagram to show your understanding of the two cell division processes of Mitosis and Meiosis.

Emerging makes  4 cells makes 2 cells creates sex cells creates identical cells cells divide

Developing daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes begins with a parent cell

Core produces daughter cells (identical/different) to parent cell (2/4) daughter cells happens in (germ/somatic) cells chromosome number (halves/remains the same) (1/ 2) times through nuclear division
