    Mitosis and Meiosis (More Notes) Ppt.

    Uploaded by

    Ravindra Persaud 9A
    The document provides an overview of mitosis and meiosis. It defines mitosis and meiosis, describes the stages of each, and gives examples. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells and is important for growth and repair. It occurs in somatic cells. Meiosis results in four haploid cells and occurs in germ cells, resulting in genetic variation important for evolution and sexual reproduction. The document compares the advantages and disadvantages of each type of cell division.

    The CELL CYCLE


    The cell cycle is sequence of events that occurs between the start
    of one cell division and the start of the next.

    Stages of cell division ( Mitosis)


    Interphase
    1. Prophase
    2. Metaphase
    3. Anaphase
    4. Telophase
    5. Cytokinesis

    Significances of Mitosis Cell


    Cell Division occurs all over the body expect in
    the sex cells. It end product results in two
    identical cells.

    Itis termed as a diploid or 2n because it has


    46 chromosomes

    It is important for the repair and growth of the


    zygote
    9
    Species chromosome number is maintained

    Each daughter cell receives an identical combination


    of genes
    10

    Examples of Mitosis
    1. Binary Fission
    2. Vegetative Propagation
    1. Runners
    2 . Bulbs
    3. Tissues
    cultures

    Advantages Disadvantages

    Meiosis
    What is Meiosis?

    Meiosis is the cell division that only occurs in


    the reproductive organs during gamete
    formation.
    Stages in
    Meiosis

    Interphase 5.Prophase 2
    1. Prophase 1 6. Metaphase 2
    2. Metaphase 7. Anaphase 2

    Important terms Meiosis

    Homologous pairs - this is the pairing of each


    chromosome set from the mother pairs with the
    corresponding chromosome from the father.

    Crossing Overing - this occurs homologous pairs join


    and exchange genetic information.

    16
    Significance of meiosis

    - Produces four genetically different cells, all the gametes


    form are different from each other

    - There is variation within the population.

    - Only occurs in reproductive cells hence they are known to


    haloid number of chromosomes (N)
    17
    Advantages Disadvantages

    - Sexual It takes longer to


    Reproduction reproduce.
