Meiosis and Mitosis Carly, Grace, Kellen, Emma
Meiosis • Produces Haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) • Reduced genetic material by half • Used in sexual reproduction
Mitosis • Creates diploid cells (not sex cells) • Daughter cells are identical to the mother cells • Used for growth and repair
Phases of mitosis • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • telophase
Prophase • Chromation condenses into chromosones • Centriole separate and a spindle forms • Nuclear envelope breaks down
Metaphase • Chromosones line up across the center of the cell • Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere
Anaphase • Sister chromatids separate into induvidual chromosomes and are moved apart
Telophase • Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell • Chromosomes lose their distinct shapes and two nuclear envelopes are formed
