cell replication

Meiosis

Mitosis

Creates gametes/sex cells

Interphase

Cytokinesis

Creates somatic cells (body cells)

goes through cycle twice #

goes through cycle once

prophase

metaphase

anaphase

telophase

problems in copying of DNA can lead to cancer

problems in copying of DNA can lead to birth defects

Cell replication and division

nucleus duplication

Phase of cell cycle when identical copies of DNA are made

cytoplasmic division of cell

Phase of mitosis when sister chromatids pair up, phase of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pair up

Phase of mitosis when sister chromatids line up in the middle, phase of meiosis when homologous chromosomes line up in the middle

Phase of mitosis when sister chromatids pull apart, phase of meiosis when homologous chromosomes pull apart

Two nuclei are formed

longest phase

shortest phase

when the copying slows down=aging

asexual reproduction

sexual reproduction
