mitosis:the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.\n\nmeiosis: (genetics) cell division that produces reproductive cells in sexually reproducing organisms; the nucleus divides into four nuclei each containing half the chromosome number (leading to gametes in animals and spores in plants) \n\nosmosis:Transmission of fluids from one cell into another; foundation of metabolism, led by the concentration of salt within a cell. Water can penetrate cell membranes, and strives to, where the concentration of salt is highest, in order to equalize the salt concentration in the body.

Cancer is characterised by mutations in genes that lead to uncontrolled cell growth, dvision and differentiation. Mitosis plays a great role in cancer development in that the cancer cells divide by mitosis, where the the daughter cells are diploid. Meiosis is another kind of division carried out in gametes (sperm cells and egg cells) where a daughter cell is haploid. So, somatic or body cells where cancer is developing divide in an uncontrolled manner by mitosis.

During *mitosis*, the cytoplasm of a cell and its organelles separate into two new *identical cells*?\n\nI'm not sure what else you're looking for here...

Unfortunately there isnt any average cell-as said before, there is variation from minutes, in the case of some immune and germ cells, to never in the case of most neurons.  But, to give you a way to answer your homework, you can say a hypothetical cell takes 24 hours to divide-there are quite a few cell types that take about this long, so you would be safe choosing this time.

Meiosis is a completely different process from mitosis.\n\nI should stop doing other people's homework...\n\nMeiosis ends with a different amount of cells, and the cells as a result of meiosis only have 1/2 of the chromosomes of the original cell, where in mitosis, the daughter cells have the same amount of chromosomes.\n\nIn meiosis, there are two divisions. \n\nMeiosis occurs only in reproductive cells. For example, in humans, sperm has 23chromosomes and eggs have 23 chromosomes, a normal human cell has 46, which is why it takes two reproductive cells to create a living thing.\n\nI could go on and on, but I have to return to my own work.

normal cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromatids)\nbefore mitotic division the number doubles to 46 pairs (92 chromatids) the chromosomes are arranged as sister chromatids joined by the centromere and aligned with their copies (this is where recombination events can take place). the pairs are then pulled apart and separated in to the two new cells (each with 23 pairs). \n\nNote: for meiotic division (production of gametes (sperm and egg)) 23 pairs of chromosomes are divided in to 2 lots of 23 single chromosomes.

The following quote is from \n\nhttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=pubmed&dopt=Abstract&list_uids=3607844&query_hl=6&itool=pubmed_docsum\n\n"prophase lasted 4.8 hr; metaphase, 0.2 hr; anaphase, 0.06 hr and telophase, 3.3 hr, while the interphase lasted 5.4 hr. In accordance with this, the duration of the whole mitotic process was 8.4 hr."

It is definitely the chromosomes that divide in both mitosis and meiosis. However, the whole cells divides so # 1 sounds like the right answer. Did you ask in class? I am glad you are asking here , but you really should ask your teacher.

During s-phase of interphase, the genetic material is duplicated.    So #1 is FALSE.\n\nTelophase sees the production of the nulear membrane.  So in effect, new nuclei are formed, making #2 TRUE.\n\nMitosis creates two daughter cells that are diploid, because it is reproduction of somatic (body cells), no production of gametes (which would be haploid).  So, #3 is TRUE\n\nChromosome find their homolougous pair during prophase of Meiosis, NOT mitosis.  Pairing occurs during meiosis so the the gametes that are haploid can be formed. So #4 is TRUE\n\nEach species has a specific number of chromosomes- fruit flies for example have 8 chromosomes, while humans have 46.  So #5 is TRUE.

in like every cell in your body ...without it you might not be alive...so remember it occurs in mostly well not even mostly...it occurs in every cell.i just learned about it in science...now we r moving onto genes ugh!!!btw just letting you know if you havent learned about mitosis at all and u are now...dont freak out cuz its hard cuz its not it easy to learn about!!

See the following link for an animation and explanation of Mitosis. Hope that helps. \n\nIn most cases mitosis occurs by the parent cell diving into daughter cells (usually 2).\n\nhttp://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm

Your body makes cells by the process called mitosis.\n\nHere's a website on mitosis:\nhttp://www.cellsalive.com/mitosis.htm

Mitosis result in 2 cells that are typical to the parent cell. it also occurs in all type of cells\nMeiosis result in 4 cells each of them have half of the chromosomal material of the parent cell. it occurs in gametes

I know of two kinds of cells that are not regenerated: Brain cells (neurons) and if you are female, eggs cells in the ovary.  The ones you are born with are still with you.

Both previous answers are inaccurate.\n\nMitosis is sometimes called growth division. In plants and animals new cells are made continually. Mitosis results in two new cells identical genetically to the original which divided.\nWe are diploid animals which have 23 pairs of chromosomes. After mitosis both cells still have 23 pairs of chromosomes.\n\nMeiosis is a division which produces sex cells (sperm or ova). After division is complete, each sex cell has half the number of chromosomes; it is haploid. So instead of having 23 pairs the sex cells will have 23 chromosomes - one of each type of chromosome.

Mitosis is the reproduction of body cells.  Meiosis is the reproduction of gamet of sex cells and only have 23 chromosomes in them.
