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

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

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

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

5. 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

6. What type of cells undergo meiosis?
Body Cells
Sex Cells

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

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

9. 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

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