12.______The process that is occurring at B is

13.______The gamete that contains genes contributed only by the mother is

14.______“During mitosis, the nucleus disappears during ______and reappears during ______.”

  1. meiosis

B. Crossing-over in which genes are exchanged

C. The diploid chromosome number represents pairs of chromosomes, one from each parent, so it is always an even number.

  1. Both Sperm cells and Egg cells
  1. Mitosis
  1. It is carried out in all tissues that require cell replacement
  1. an egg
  1. It occurs only in cells in the reproductive structures of the organism
  1. It is the division of cells into haploid sperms or eggs
  1. It is the first stage of mitosis
  1. prophase, telophase
  1. Fertilization
  1. Meiosis
  1. It has two cell divisions rather than one
  1. 2 identical cells
  1. Two identical cells that form one mother cell through mitosis

What is the final product of mitosis?

Use the chart below to describe each phase of mitosis and with at least two details for each phase.

(Hint: Describe the roles of spindle fibers, centrioles, the actions of the chromatin/chromosomes/chromatids, nuclear envelope, equator, cytoplasm and/or cytokinesis, and cell membrane and/or cell wall)
