| Question | Answer |
| Begins with a cell in the testes or ovaries | The cell contains 46 chromosomes |
| Each chromosomes duplicates to form an "arm" and an 'x' shaped chromosome | This means that there are 92 chromatids (halves of an 'x' shape chromosome) |
| The cell splits(splitting the 'x' shaped chromosomes) to form two daughter cells each containing 46 chromosomes and DNA from both the mother and father | the chromosomes are no longer 'x' shaped |
| Each of the two daughter cells, containing 46 chromosomes, organise and split evenly - each into 2 daughter cells | there are 4 daughter cells called gametes, each containing 23 chromosomes |
| These gametes are sex cells, sperm cells in men and egg cells in women | These gametes can combine to create a full cell (46 chromosomes), this cell will begin the process of mitosis |
