The document discusses the division of the cytoplasm, specifically cytokinesis. It compares mitosis and meiosis, noting that meiosis produces haploid gametes and four daughter cells, while both processes occur after interphase and mitosis produces diploid cells. Additionally, crossing over of chromosomes occurs only during meiosis.

1. 2. Division of the cytoplasm is called 3. Do each of the following descriptions characterize
mitosis, meiosis, or both mitosis and meiosis? a. Produces haploid gametes b. Results in
formation of four daughter cells. c. Crossing over of chromosomes occurs. d. Is preceded by
interphase. e. Produces diploid cells.
Solution
2) cytokinesis..
3) (a) meosis which is also called a reductional division produces a haploid gamets..
(b) meosis results in formation of 4 daughters cells
(c) meosis where crossing over takes place at pachytene stage.
(d) meosis and mitosis both occurs after inter phase..
(e) mitosis produce 2 daughters cells which are diploid.
