Reflections 2

I learned about the reproduction of cells and the diffrence between sexual and asexual reproduction. An easy trick that i learned was asexual is just one partner. i remebered this because when you use a in front of a word its signifies a plural word. I remebered sexual production has two partners because I remember about the birds and the bees. I also learned that we are diploids ,but we have haploids in us. Haploids have 23 chromosomes because I think of them as half a diploid because a diploid has 46 chromosomes. Two haploid make a diploid which makes another organism.

I found a hard time understanding the diffrence between the telophase and cytokinesis. Are they two seperate parts of one stage or what or are they the same thing but there are just two diffrent words?

  1. They are two different words and mean two different things. They are very similar but cytokinesis can be seen as a the complete separation between the cytoplasm in the cells, where as telophase means that the nuclei are being divided. Telophase operates opposite of prophase, meaning that the nuclear envelopes are starting to form rather than break down. The way I see it is that telophase is the process that the cell goes through to be ready for cytokinesis. I hope this helps!
