Question
- which type of cell division produces:
- daughter cells that contain the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell?
- gametes (daughter cells called egg or and sperm)?
- in figure 1, how many pairs of chromosomes are present in...
- the parent cell? ____
- the cells produced by mitosis? ____
- the cells produced by meiosis? ____
- what do members of a pair of chromosomes have in common?
- compare the amount of genetic material (number of chromosomes) in the parent cell with the amount of genetic information in a gamete (egg or sperm).
- based on the model, does it appear that all of the egg cells produced by meiosis contain the same genetic information? explain.
- the parent cell shown below contains three pairs of chromosomes. in each of the circles provided, draw possible chromosome contents for four different cells produced by normal meiosis.

read me!!
cells that contain two copies of each type of chromosomes are said to be diploid.
cells containing only one copy of each chromosome are said to be haploid.
- in the picture on the previous page, label the cell or cells that are diploid and those that are haploid.
Question 2 (First part: Daughter cells with same chromosomes as parent)
The question is about cell division types. Mitosis is the cell division that produces daughter cells with the same number and kinds of chromosomes as the parent cell, as it's for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction, maintaining chromosome number.
Gametes (egg and sperm) are produced by meiosis. Meiosis reduces the chromosome number by half, creating haploid gametes for sexual reproduction, unlike mitosis which maintains chromosome number.
- Parent cell: If it's diploid, the number of chromosome pairs is the number of homologous pairs. For example, if parent has 3 pairs (as in question 9's parent cell with 3 pairs), then parent has 3 pairs.
- Mitosis: Daughter cells are diploid, same as parent, so same number of chromosome pairs (e.g., 3 pairs).
- Meiosis: Daughter cells are haploid, so they have 0 homologous pairs (or n chromosomes, no pairs). But if parent had \( x \) pairs, meiosis produces cells with \( x \) single chromosomes (no pairs).
