Study Notes
Mitosis
- Occurs in somatic and germ cells
- Involves cytokinesis
- Has four phases: Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase
- Maintains the same chromosome count in daughter cells
- Creates an exact copy of the original cell, a cloning process
- Homologous chromosomes do not pair up during mitosis
- Chromosomes line up single file during metaphase
- Results in two identical daughter cells
Meiosis
- Occurs only in germ cells
- Essential for sexual reproduction
- Involves two rounds of cell division
- Daughter cells have half the chromosome number of the original cell
- Has unique phases identified by roman numerals: Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II, Telophase II
- Produces unique cells, each containing pairs of homologous chromosomes
- Involves pairing of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I
- Ends with four unique haploid daughter cells
Stages of Meiosis II
- Anaphase II: Sister chromatids separate and are pulled apart
- Telophase II: Unduplicated chromosomes move to opposite cell poles
- Second cytoplasmic division: Each daughter cell becomes haploid
### Differences Between Mitosis and Meiosis
- Mitosis: one round of cell division, results in diploid daughter cells (same number of chromosomes as original cell)
- Meiosis: two rounds of cell division, results in haploid daughter cells (half the number of chromosomes as the original cell)
- Mitosis: produces identical daughter cells, essential for growth and repair
- Meiosis: produces unique daughter cells, essential for sexual reproduction
