Mitosis and Meiosis
• Mitosis:-division of somatic (body) cells
• Meiosis-division of gametes (sex cells)
![Page 3: Mitosisand meiosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071818/55b02d9a1a28ab0a568b486e/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Mitosis• Interphase
• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Anaphase
• Telophase
![Page 4: Mitosisand meiosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071818/55b02d9a1a28ab0a568b486e/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Interphase
• Interesting things happen!1. Cell preparing to divide2. Genetic material doubles
![Page 5: Mitosisand meiosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071818/55b02d9a1a28ab0a568b486e/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Prophase• Chromosome pair up!1. Chromosomes thicken and shorten
-become visible-2 chromatids joined by a centromere
2. Centrioles move to the opposite sides of the nucleus
3. Nucleolus disappears4. Nuclear membrane disintegrate

Metaphase
• Chromosomes meet in the middle!1. Chromosomes arrange at equator of
cell2. Become attached to spindle fibres
by centromeres3. Homologous chromosomes do not
associate

Anaphase
• Chromosomes get pulled apart1. Spindle fibres contract pulling
chromatids to the opposite poles of the cell
![Page 10: Mitosisand meiosis](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022071818/55b02d9a1a28ab0a568b486e/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Telophase
• Now there are two!1. Chromosomes uncoil2. Spindle fibres disintegrate3. Centrioles replicate4. Nucleur membrane forms5. Cell divides

Meiosis
• 4 daughter cells produced• Each daughter cell has half the
chromosomes of the parent• 2 sets of cell division involved
