Draw a side-by-side comparison of mitosis and meiosis. Include 6 chromosomes in your drawings at the beginning of mitosis and meiosis. Be sure to label the following in each of your drawings where appropriate: chromosomes/chromatin/sister chromatids, mitotic spindle, asters, centromeres, microtubules, centrosomes, kinetochore, and nuclear membrane.

The monarch butterfly, Danaus Plexippus, has 18 chromosomes.  Use the monarch butterfly chromosome number to complete the following table.  CELL DIVISION EVENT MITOSIS MEIOSIS Chromosome # in daughter cells       Number of nuclear divisions       Homologous Chromosomes (yes/n0)       Parent cell haploid or diploid       Daughter cells haploid or diploid       Followed by cytokinesis (yes/no)

The cells bellow are in the process and stages as indicated. Each cell has a 2n # of 6. In the cells below show all of the chromosomes and their proper location and draw and label the metaphase plate, kinetochore, spindle, centrosomes, homologous chromosomes, microtubules, DNA, sister chromatids, centromere MITOSIS (Metaphase) Total number of chromosomes Total number of homologous pairs of chromosomes MEIOSIS (Metaphase I)
