Cell Division Plants are complex organisms that grow throughout their lifetime. Cells inside organisms divide in two ways for two different purposes.

Meiosis – is the process used by eukaryotic cells to make new sex cells.

Meiosis At the end of meiosis, 4 new cells are created with ½ the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

During the process of meiosis, how many daughter cells are produced by each parent cell? one half one two four

half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell How many chromosomes are in each of the 4 new daughter cells at the end of meiosis? half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell four times the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

What type of cells undergo meiosis? Body Cells Sex Cells

Mitosis - is the process of cell division in which one parent cell divides to create 2 new, identical cells (used by body cells)

During the process of mitosis, how many daughter cells are produced by each parent cell? one half one two four

How many chromosomes are in each of the 2 new daughter cells at the end of mitosis? half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell twice the number of chromosomes as the parent cell four times the number of chromosomes as the parent cell

What type of cells undergo mitosis? A. Body Cells B. Sex Cells
