2. What types of cells divide this way? 3. Why do cells go through this type of division? 4. How many cells are produced? 5. How many chromosomes are in the new Daughter cells?

thomaster (thomaster):

Your questions is missing some information. What type of cells divide "this way" How do I know which way is referred to here? Any pictures that come with the question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Mitosis is a process that divides a parent cell to form two identical daughter cells. @thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

Alright so we're talking about mitosis. What type of cells divide this way? Do you know what 2 types of cells are there in cell division?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not sure that's the part I'm really confused on... @thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

alright, we have 2 types of cells in basic cell division: Somatic cells and gametes. Somatic cells are the kind of cells that form your body. Gametes are sex cells, used in reproduction. 1 gamete from a male and a female can produce offspring. To create gametes, these cells undergo a special type of cell division called meiosis. The somatic cells undergo mitosis in their cell division. I attached an image which shows the process of mitosis and the different phases.

Ok I understand the process now.

thomaster (thomaster):

now do you know the answer of question 4 and 5?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes. Thank you!

thomaster (thomaster):

well what answers do you have now? I'd like to know if you fully understand it :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4. 46 5. 2

thomaster (thomaster):

well exactly the opposite of that but the answers are correct. Mitosis produces 2 cells which each contain 23 pairs of chromosomes, so 46.

ok Thank You so much!
