The ability of organisms to reproduce distinguishes living things from nonliving matter
Cell division is the basis of the continuity of life
Unicellular organisms reproduce by division of one cell
Multicellular organisms depend on cell division for development, growth, and repair
Cell division is part of the cell cycle
Page 4:
There are three types of cell division: binary fission, mitotic cell division, and meiotic cell division
Binary fission occurs in prokaryotes and produces two exact copies of the original cell
Mitotic cell division occurs in somatic cells of eukaryotes and produces two exact copies of the parent cell
Meiotic cell division occurs in sex cells of eukaryotes and involves two successive stages of division
Page 5:
The cell cycle consists of the mitotic phase and interphase
Interphase makes up about 90% of the cell cycle and can be divided into G1, S, and G2 phases
Chromosomes are duplicated during the S phase
Page 6:
G1 phase prepares the cell for division and leads to the S phase
S phase involves DNA synthesis and replication of genetic material
Page 7:
G2 phase assembles the necessary materials for mitosis and cytokinesis
M phase includes nuclear division (mitosis) and cell division (cytokinesis)
Page 8:
Mitosis is a form of eukaryotic cell division that produces two daughter cells with the same genetic component as the parent cell
Mitosis is divided into four stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Page 10:
Prophase is the first stage of mitosis
Chromosomes appear as long thin threads and consist of two chromatids
Centromeres and kinetochores are present at the centromere region
Chromatids are the threads of chromosomes
Page 11:
Prophase: chromatids become thicker and shorter
Spindle fibers begin to form at the cell poles
Nuclear membranes and nucleoli disappear
Page 12:
Metaphase: nuclear membranes and nucleoli disappear
Chromosomes are arranged at the cell equator
Chromosomes reach their maximum thickness and minimum length
Page 13:
Anaphase: centromeres split, separating sister chromatids
Spindle fibers contract, causing migration of chromatids to opposite cell poles
Page 14:
Telophase: daughter chromosomes are separated into two groups
Daughter chromosomes increase in length and decrease in thickness
Nuclear envelope reappears around each daughter chromosome group
Daughter nuclei are formed at the two poles of the cell
Page 15:
Cytoplasmic division (cytokinesis) begins in late anaphase and is completed in telophase
Animal cells undergo midline constriction to separate into two daughter cells
Plant cells form a cell plate between the two daughter nuclei
Page 17:
Asexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring through mitosis
Meiosis produces gametes in animals
Gametes fuse to form a diploid zygote that develops into a multicellular organism
Page 18:
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from diploid to haploid
Meiosis consists of two sets of cell divisions: meiosis I and meiosis II
Four daughter cells are produced in meiosis, each with half as many chromosomes as the parent cell
Page 19:
Meiosis I and meiosis II are the main divisions in meiosis
Each division has multiple stages: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase
Page 20:
Meiosis I: prophase I has stages of leptonema, zygonema, pachynema, deplonema, and diakinesis
Leptonema: chromosomes appear as long and thin threads
Zygonema: homologous chromosomes pair up
Pachynema: crossing over occurs between non-sister chromatids
Deplonema: homologous chromosomes repel each other
Diakinesis: nuclear envelope and nucleolus disappear, chromosomes become thicker and shorter
Page 21:
Prophase I: pachynema stage involves crossing over and the formation of chiasmata
Chiasmata are points of crossing over between non-sister chromatids
Page 22:
Prophase I: diakinesis stage involves the disappearance of the nuclear envelope and nucleolus
Chromosomes become thicker and shorter
Page 23:
Metaphase I: chromosomes reach their maximum thickness and shortness
Homologous chromosome pairs are arranged at the cell equator
Page 24:
First anaphase (Anaphase-I)
Every chromosome migrates to one of the two cell poles.
Centromeres do not divide.
Each chromosome still consists of two chromatids.
Page 25:
First telophase (Telophase-I)
The nuclear envelope is reformed around each chromosome group at the two cell poles.
Nucleoli reappear.
Two haploid daughter nuclei are formed.
Page 26:
Meiosis II occurs in four phases:
Prophase II
Metaphase II
Anaphase II
Telophase II and cytokinesis
Meiosis II is very similar to mitosis.
Page 27:
Second Meiosis division (Meiosis-I): Second prophase (Prophase-II)
The nucleus contains one chromosome set (haploid set).
Chromosomes become shorter and thicker.
Page 28:
Second metaphase (Metaphase-II)
Nuclear envelope and nucleoli disappeared.
Spindle fibers appear at the two cell poles.
The chromosomes arranged on the equatorial plane of the cell.
Centromere of every chromosome divides.
Page 29:
Second anaphase (Anaphase-II)
Chromatids of each chromosome migrate to one of the two cell poles.
Sister chromatids.
Haploid daughter cells separate forming.
Page 30:
Second telophase (telophase-II)
Chromatids reached cell poles.
The nuclear envelope and nucleoli reappear at each pole.
