    Chapter 16 Cell Division

    Test Yourself 16.1 (page 298)

    Growth involves a permanent increase in size as a result of cell division. When a puffer fish
    inflates, the increase in size is temporary and is not a result of cell division. Hence growth
    cannot be said to have taken place.

    1 – Anaphase
    2 – Metapahse

    Test Yourself 16.3 (page 312)

    – Meiosis produces haploid gametes.


    – Meiosis results in variations in the gametes produced. Random fertilisation results in
    variations in the offspring. Variations increase the chances of survival of the species
    during changes in the environment.

    Get It Right (page 313)

    (a) False
    Even when an organism stops growing, mitosis still occurs.
    (b) False
    During interphase, the cell carries out activities like absorbing nutrients and building
    up protoplasm.
    (c) False
    Just like in mitosis, chromatin threads replicate right before meiosis I. In order to
    ensure four haploid daughter cells are produced, there is no replication in meiosis II.
    (d) True

    Section C: Free-Response Questions

    1. – Mitosis is important for the growth of a multicellular organism.


    – Mitosis is important for repair of worn-out parts of the body of an organism.
    – In some organisms, mitosis is important for asexual reproduction.

    2. – Meiosis is a reduction division in cells.


    – It produces gametes that contain half the number of chromosomes (haploid
    number) as that of the normal body call (diploid number).
    – During sexual reproduction, when two gametes fuse, the normal diploid
    number of chromosomes is restored in the zygote. This maintains the diploid
    chromosome number in the species.
