Question

meiosis and mitosis
information
the nucleus located inside the cells of your body contains chromosomes, and each chromosome carries many genes. genes contain coded hereditary information that determine your traits like hair color, height and everything else you see when you look in a mirror. we get these chromosomes from our parents, but first our parents have to make gametes (sex cells) so they can make you. these gametes are made through a process called meiosis. meiosis is one of two types of cell division. the other type is called mitosis and in this packet you will look at the difference.

critical analysis questions

1. what are the two types of cell division shown in the model (figure 1)? circle them above.

Explanation:

The model and information provided are about cell division processes. Mitosis and Meiosis are the two types of cell division shown. From the figure, the daughter cells produced by MITOSIS (first column) and those produced by MEIOSIS (second and third columns for eggs and sperm) indicate the two processes. The text also mentions "Meiosis is one of two types of cell division. The other type is called mitosis". So the two types are Mitosis and Meiosis.

Answer:

The two types of cell division shown in the model are Mitosis and Meiosis. (To circle: In the figure, circle the labels "MITOSIS" (above the first column of daughter cells) and "MEIOSIS" (above the second and third columns of daughter cells).)
