1 division

Reproduction in unicellular organisms

2 daughter cells

Humans duplicate body cells

Takes place in both unicellular and multicellular organisms

Daughter cells contain same amount of chromosomes as parent

Form of reproduction

DNA duplicates prior to division

Process of cell division resulting in half the amount of chromosomes compared to parent cell

Daughter cells contain 1/2 the amount of chromosomes as parent

Daughter cells are not identical to parent

Part of reproduction of multicellular organisms

Only occurs in specialized cells for reproduction

2 divisions

Only in reproductive cells

4 daughter cells

If parent has 60 chromosomes, daughters will have 30

If parent has 60 chromosomes, daughters will have 60
