Meiosis Vs Graph B

Meiosis results in four daughter cells (gametes) which have half the number of chromosomes of the original cell. They are therefore called haploid cell

Mitosis and meiosis are similar in several ways and different in others. The similarities include that both processes involve IPMAT. IPMAT is interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase. The parent cells are diploid. They both end with cytokinesis. In Metaphase and Metaphase II, the sister chromatids line up along the center. Then in Anaphase and Anaphase II, these chromatids are split and pulled towards the centrosomes. The differences are that mitosis consists of 1 division while meiosis consists of 2. Four genetically different, haploid sex cells are the products of meiosis and 2 identical, diploid somatic cells from mitosis. Mitosis occurs in all organisms except viruses and meiosis only occurs in plants, animals, and fungi.

In most eukaryotes, the nuclear envelope that separates the DNA from the cytoplasm disassembles. The chromosomes align themselves in a line spanning the cell. As the cell elongates, corresponding sister chromosomes are pulled toward opposite ends.

Meiosis is a cell division that results in four daughter cells. The daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes of the parent cells.In meiosis the Law of Independent Assortment states that the alleles of one gene sort in gametes independently of the alleles of another gene. Meiosis increases inherited genetic variation because during meiosis, homologous chromosomes each from one pair of parents. The parents chromosomes cross over and and trade some genes when they break apart. This recombination of forming together then breaking apart and

Meiosis consists of one DNA replication and two nuclear divisions resulting in 4 daughter cells. The process which provides for genetic variation is crossing over. Crossing over occurs in the early stages when homologous chromosomes move together so that their chromatids form a tetrad. This is called synapsis and allows for the exchange of chromosome sections.

Response Feedback: Meiosis occurs only in replicating gametes or reproducing cells. In phase one, the number of chromosomes is reduced by half but the chromatid pairs remain together. In phase two, the chromatids split apart forming four daughter cells. Non-germ cells such as red blood cells or skin cells undergo mitosis.For more information on this topic, consult:Carol Mattson Porth and Glen Matfin, Pathophysiology, 8th Edition,

Mitosis is the process of duplicating nuclear material one cell becomes two cells. A cell contains 46 chromosomes, this is known as diploid. This process involves prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis ensures the continuation of the organism and helps the body build and repair. Meiosis on the other hand is for production of haploid cells, 23 chromosomes, that together with another human, new organisms are created.

Mitosis creates identical cells to replace old or dying cell tissue while Meiosis occurs in the sexual reproduction organs and creates genetically different cells.

Meiosis I starts with interphase I where these chromosomes are duplicated. Prophase I starts with homologous chromosomes pairing up and exchange tetrads, which is where crossing over can take place. In metaphase I the tetrads line up along the metaphase plate randomly producing independent assortment. Anaphase I is where pairs of homologous chromosomes split up. Telophase I cytokinesis occurs and 2 non identical daughter split, and 2 haploid cells form. Meiosis II starts with prophase II where the nuclear envelope breaks down. Metaphase II occurs as sister chromatids align on the metaphase plate. Anaphase II happens as the sister chromatids separate, yielding single chromosomes. Telophase II occurs as the nuclear envelope forms and cytokinesis

(O’Connor, Clare) In Metaphase, the centromeres of the chromosomes line up in the center of the spindle fibers to get ready for the next phase to follow. In anaphase the sister chromatids begin to separate and microtubules shorten. In the second part of anaphase the microtubules move past each other and spindle fibers separate. (O’Connor, Clare). The last stage of mitosis is divided between telophase and cytokinesis. The chromosomes condense, nucleus reforms, and in cytokinesis the cytoplasm separates. (O’Connor, Clare) Once the entire process has been complete, two identical daughter cells are formed.

Meiosis consists of two cycles, each containing different stages. During Prophase I in meiosis I, the free floating chromatin in the diploid cell will begin to condense and synapses occurs. Each chromosome within the cell contains two sister chromatids and during synapses, the homologous chromosomes will pair together to create a tetrad. In addition, the chromosomes will exhibit crossing over which also occurs during Prophase I. Crossing over describes the process in which any of the four chromatids exchange segments with each other to create more genetic diversity. During Prometaphase I, the nuclear envelope of the cell will begin to break down to prepare for later separation. The homologous chromosomes then move to

Meiosis is a form of cell division that halves the amount of chromosomes in sexually reproducing organisms (Bernstein et al 2011) to form gametes. In meiotic cell division, DNA replication is followed by two rounds of cell division to create four daughter cells, each with half the amount of chromosomes as the parent. Meiosis is split into two round called Meiosis I and Meiosis II and each round of meiosis is made up of four stages called prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. The longest, most complex stage of meiosis is Prophase I as it is split into 5 phases called lepotene, zygotene, pachytene, diplotene, and diakinesis (Tworzydlo & et al 2016). In these stages of prophase, chromosome pairing, synaptomenal complex formation, and recombination occur. The formation of the synaptomenal complex allows for the chromosomes to know if they have successfully paired. This complex can be stained by SPC3 as it binds to the lateral elements of the synaptomenal complex. In this practical, immunostaining process allows for it to be confirmed which proteins are associated with the meiotic chromosomes. This immunostaining process

     More than one celled organisms grow by way of mitosis and the cytoplasmic division of body cells. On the other hand, meiosis occurs only in germ cells, which are put aside for the formation of gametes (sperm and egg). Reproduction by meiosis allows for species survival and it increases genetic variability.

Compare and Contrast Mitosis and Meiosis Meiosis and mitosis describes the process by which cells divide, either by asexual or sexual reproduction to produce a new organism. Meiosis is a form of cell division that produces gametes in humans these are egg cells and sperms, each with reduced or halved number of chromosomes. The number of chromosomes is restored when two gametes fuse together to form a zygote. A cell with two copies of each chromosome is called diploid cell and a cell with one copy of each chromosome is called a haploid cell.

Mitosis is one of two main methods of cell replication, the other being meiosis. It is “the simple duplication of a cell and all of its parts” resulting from the splitting of a cell. The ‘parent’ or original cell splits, duplicating its DNA (packaged in chromosomes) producing two ‘daughter’ or new cells with the same genetic code. There are four stages of mitosis; Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Interphase is not an official phase of mitosis as the cell is at ‘rest’ and not being divided during this phase. It is often called one of the phases of mitosis as it is one of the stages in the life cycle of a cell; however it is not a phase of mitosis due to the fact that no division takes place.
