Mitosis- cellular division
At the end- 2 identical daughter cells
Only get clones- identical twins
meiosis- chromosome reduction
chromosones- 46 chromosones
23 from mom 23 from dad- baby then when baby is grown creates chromosones
Why people look related
Somatic cells- body cells(not sex cells) except gametes. Mitosis
Gametes- reproductive cells(sex cells) meiosis
Cell cycle
Part 1- interphase- 3 diff parts- (the nucleus is still there/ centrioles/ plasma membrane/ nuclear envelope)
Part 2- mitosis- nucleus divides
Part 3- cytokinesis- entire cell divides

Mitosis = nuclear division
Mitosis is used for growth and repair in organisms.
There are 4 stages of Mitosis:
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase.
Prophase
The nuclear membrane is broken down
Chromatin condenses and is visible as chromosomes
Spindle fiber forms
Anaphase
Sister chromatids separate and move to opposite sides of the cell.
Metaphase
Chromosomes line up in the middle of the cells.
Telophase
Spindle fibers disappear.
Nuclear membrane reforms.
Chromosomes begin to uncoil and return to chromatin form.
CROSSING OVER
Homologous chromosomes are a pair of chromosomes that have different versions of
the same genes
Crossing over is where the DNA is exchanged between the homologous chromosomes making
them genetically different
Homologous
Chromosome
chromosomes
crossover
Recombinant
chromatids
IT ONLY HAPPENS ONCE DURING PROPHASE ONE OF MEOSIS ONE
METAPHASE 1
Shortest phase
Tetrads align on the equator.
Independent assortment occurs - chromosomes separate randomly causing GENETIC
RECOMBINATION
ANAPHASE I
Homologous chromosomes separate and move towards the poles.
Sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres.
TELOPHASE I
Each pole now has haploid (1n) set of chromosomes.
Cytokinesis occurs and two haploid daughter cells are formed.
METAPHASE II
•Same as Metaphase in mitosis
Chromosomes (not homologs) line up at equator
ANAPHASE II
Same as Anaphase in mitosis
SISTER CHROMATIDS
separate
TELOPHASE II
Same as Telophase in mitosis.
Nuclei and Nucleoli reform, spindle disappears
CYTOKINESIS occurs.
Remember: FOUR HAPLOID
DAUGHTER cells are produced.
Called GAMETES (eggs and sperm)
In Sperm cell fertilizes In egg to form 2n zygote
