Words to know• DNA/RNA

• Chromosomes - organized structure of DNA and protein

• Chromatins - mass of genetic material composed of DNA and proteins that condense to form chromosomes during eukaryotic cell division

• Chromatids - each of the two threadlike strands into which a chromosome divides longitudinally during cell division. Each contains a double helix of DNA.

MeiosisMeiosisFormation of Formation of

GametesGametes (Eggs & (Eggs & Sperm)Sperm)

Words to knowGametes - reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction

to form a new cell called a zygote (male = sperm, female = egg cell)

Germ cells – sperm or egg cells

Somatic cells - any cell other than the reproductive cells

Diploid - a cell that contains two sets of chromosomes (2n), as normally found in somatic cells

Haploid - have one set of chromosomes (n=1) as in germ cells, or half as many as a somatic cell

Homologous – chromosomes that are alike in structure and genes

Alleles – different forms of a gene ex. if talking about hair color as the gene, different alleles would be different colors like red, blonde, black etc.

Meiosis Mitosis

Definition:

A type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell.

A process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two producing a replica, with an equal number of chromosomes in haploid cell

Function: sexual reproductionCellular Reproduction & general growth and repair of the body

Type of Reproduction: Sexual AsexualOccurs in: Humans, animals, plants, fungi all organismsGenetically: different identical

Crossing Over:Yes, mixing of chromosomes can occur.

No, crossing over cannot occur.

Pairing of Homologues: Yes NoNumber of Divisions: 2 1Number of Haploid Daughter Cells produced:

4 2

Chromosome Number: Reduced by half Remains the same

Steps:

The steps of meiosis are Interphase, Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II.

The steps of mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis

Karyokenesis: Occurs in Interphase I Occurs in Interphase

Cytokenesis:Occurs in Telophase I & Telohpase II

Occurs in Telophase

Centromeres Split:The centromeres do not separate during anaphase I, but during anaphase II

The centromeres split during Anaphase

Creates:Sex cells only: Female egg cells or Male sperm cells

Makes everything other than sex cells
