Number of daughter cells formed at the end of cell division.

Fill in the blanks
(a) Mitosis occurs in our ..... cells.
(b) Mitosis produces two daughter cells whereas meiosis produces ...... daughter cells.
(c) Meiosis occurs only in ..... cells.
(d) Modern humans have 46 chromosomes. Their sperms and eggs will have......chromosomes each.
(e) During the pairing of chromosomes in meiosis, the ...... chromosomes come to lie side by side.
(f) The.......(s) are surrounded by radiating rays and termed as aster.

Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division in an animal cell. Examine it carefully and answer the questions which follow.
(a) Identify the stage. Give one reason in support of your answer.
(b) Name the cell organelle that forms the 'aster'.
(c) Name the parts labelled 1, 2 and 3.
(d) Name the stage that follows the one shown here. How is that stage identified?
(e) Mention two differences between mitosis and meiosis with regard to :
(i) The number of daughter cells produced.
(ii) The chromosome number in the daughter cells.

Given below is a diagram representing a stage during mitotic cell division. Study it carefully and answer the questions as follows

How will you differentiate between mitosis and meiosis on the basis of the chromosome number in the daughter cells?

How many daughter cells are formed at the end of mitosis and at the end of meiosis ?
