Mitosis notes For makeup
Cells have distinct phases of growth, reproduction, and normal functions. • The main stages of the cell cycle are gap 1, synthesis, gap 2, and mitosis. • Cell size is limited because volume increases faster than surface area.
Mitosis and cytokinesis produce two genetically identical daughter cells. • During prophase, chromosomes condense and spindle fibers form. • During metaphase, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. • During anaphase, sister chromatids separate to opposite sides of the cell. • During telophase, the new nuclei form and chromosomes begin to uncoil.
Binary fission produces two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell. It occurs mainly in prokaryotes. • Asexual reproduction is an advantage in consistently favorable conditions. • Sexual reproduction is an advantage in changing conditions
Budding forms a new organism from a small projection growing on the surface of the parent. • Fragmentation is the splitting of the parent into pieces that each grow into a new organism. • Vegetative reproduction forms a new plant from the modification of a stem or underground structure on the parent plant.
