Companion PDF worksheet for Edexcel IGCSE Biology Lecture 45 - Cell Division. Contains short answer questions, an activity requiring lateral thinking and exam-style questions.
Specification Point 3.28 - Understand how division of a diploid cell by mitosis produces two cells that contain identical sets of chromosomes.
Specification Point 3.29 - Understand that mitosis occurs during growth, repair, cloning and asexual reproduction.
