1. ____________________- A cell divide into more cells so that to increase the number of cells in
our body.
2. There are 2 type of cell division:a) __________________________
b) __________________________
A) Mitosis
1. Mitosis is a process whereby a cell divides into ______ identical (same) cells, each carrying
exactly the same number of chromosomes and genetic information.

Stages of mitosis

Simple explanation
Chromosomes in the nucleus . ,
and are more visible.

of chromosomes occur.
Each strand of chromosome is called a
.
Chromosomes ......................... themselves in the
centre of the cell.
The . disappears.
Chromatids . and to
the opposite ends of the cell.
At the same time, the cell starts to
..
The nucleus membrane forms again.
daughter cells are
formed.
Each daughter cell (progeny cell) has the
. number of
chromosomes as the parent cell.

B) Meiosis
1. Meiosis is a process of cell division to produce ___________ cells (sperms and ovum)
2. Meiosis occurs only in ________________ organ.
3. Meiosis enables the male gamete (sperm) and female gamete (ovum) to be produced.
4. Meiosis ensure that every gamete produced is haploid (n), that is the chromosome number in a
gamete is __________ of that in a somatic cell.
5. Meiosis involves two stage of cell division :
a) meiosis I
b) meiosis II (is a mitosis process)
Chromosomes in the nucleus shorten and
____________.

____________________and _________________________
occur on chromatids

Chromosomes _____________ at cell __________.

The nucleus membrane disappear.

Homologus (similar) chromosomes

____________and are _____________________ to
the opposite end of the cells.
The cell begins to divide into two.
________________ daughter cells are
produced.
The nucleus membrane reforms.

Meiosi
sI

Meios
is II

Chromosomes align again themselves

in the cell equator.
The nucleus membrane disappears
Chromatids separate.
The cell begins to divide.

The nucleus membrane reforms.

_________ daughter cells are

produced.

Each daughter cell has

____________ of the number of
