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."
