Study Notes

Cell Reproduction

Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
This process occurs in multicellular organisms, such as humans, to produce new cells.
Single-celled organisms also use mitosis to asexually reproduce.

Meiosis

Meiosis produces sex cells with half the number of chromosomes found in other cells.
This process is used in sexually reproducing organisms.

Simulation Instructions

Observe the animations and films of mitosis and meiosis to understand the processes.
Record observations on the student sheet during each phase.
Use the orange arrows to navigate through the animation and view specific phases.
Complete the Mitosis portion of the simulation before proceeding to Activity 3, "Mitosis and Asexual Reproduction."
Complete the Meiosis portion of the simulation during Activity 13, "Meiosis and Sexual Reproduction."
