Chapter 10 - How Cells Divide - Review Questions - Understand - Page 206: 1

So cells may either divide through meiosis or through mitosis. When it comes to mitosis no fertilisation occurs, Mother cells under go division to daughter cells. That place centrioles acts as a initiator. This division is diploid (2n).There are 4 phases ( prosphase,metaphase,anaphase and Telophase) + karyo kinesis. When it comes to meiosis fertilisation occurs in Germ mother cell. This type of division acts through fusion of nuclei. This has 2 main phases meiosis1,meiosis2. That can be further subdivided to prophase I. the chromosomes condense, and the nuclear envelope breaks down. ... Metaphase I. pairs of homologous chromosomes move to the equator of the cell. Anaphase I. ... Telophase I and Cytokinesis. ... Prophase II. ... Metaphase II. ... Anaphase II. ... Telophase II and Cytokinesis.

A.-C. are all involved in binary fission, from making a second copy of the DNA to separating it into two cells which, together, are larger than the parent cell. Prokaryotic cells, which use binary fission, have no nuclear envelope, so D. is not required.
