MEIOSIS & MITOSIS
ANA MELISA F. DORUELO
PICTURES VIDEOS CONTRAST Mitosis Meosis Occurs in all somatic cells Occurs only in reproductive (sex) cells Chromosome number remains same, i.e., diploid (2n), hence it is equational division Chromosome number reduces to half, i.e., haploid (n), hence it is reductional division Two daughter cells are produced Four daughter cells are produced One cell division involves four phases Consists of two sub-divisions: Meiosis - I and Meiosis - II each involving four phases. Prophase - I is again subdivided into five sub-stages No crossing over Crossing over takes place Daughter cells have identical chromosomes to parent cell, i.e., genetic material remains constant Daughter cells have chromosomes with combined genetic material from both parents i.e., genetic variability occurs COMPARISON Meiosis Mitosis Definition A type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells. A process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two producing a replica, with an equal number of chromosomes in each resulting diploid cell. Function sexual reproduction Cellular Reproduction & general growth and repair of the body Type of Reproduction Sexual Asexual Occurs in Humans, animals, plants, fungi all organisms Genetically different identical Crossing Over Yes, mixing of chromosomes can occur. No, crossing over cannot occur. Pairing of Homologs Yes No Number of Divisions 2 1 Number of Daughter Cells produced 4 haploid cells 2 diploid cells Chromosome Number Reduced by half Remains the same Steps The steps of meiosis are Interphase, Prophase I, Metaphase I, Anaphase I, Telophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase II, Anaphase II and Telophase II. The steps of mitosis are Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase and Cytokinesis Karyokinesis Occurs in Interphase I Occurs in Interphase Cytokinesis Occurs in Telophase I & Telophase II Occurs in Telophase Centromeres Split The centromeres do not separate during anaphase I, but during anaphase II The centromeres split during Anaphase COMPARISON (VIDEO) Click the one of the box you want to play-Press the playback/format in Video tools. Click Play Mitosis Vs Meiosis Comparison of Meiosis & Mitosis MITOSIS Mitosis is the process, in the cell cycle, by which a cell duplicates into two genetically identical daughter cells. In mitosis, chromosomes in the cell nucleus are separated into two identical sets of chromosomes, each in its own nucleus. In general, mitosis is followed immediately by cytokinesis, which divides the cytoplasm, organelles, and cell membrane, and later karyokinesis, which divides the nucleus, dividing the cell into two new cells containing roughly equal shares of these cellular components. [1][unreliable source?] Mitosis and cytokinesis together define the mitotic (M) phase of the cell cyclethe division of the mother cell into two daughter cells, genetically identical to each other and to their parent cell. This accounts for approximately 20% of the cell cycle. MEIOSIS Meiosis is a special type of cell division necessary for sexual reproduction in eukaryotes, such as animals, plants and fungi. The number of sets of chromosomes in the cell undergoing meiosis is reduced to half the original number, typically from two sets (diploid) to one set (haploid). The cells produced by meiosis are either gametes (the usual case in animals) or otherwise usually spores from which gametes are ultimately produced (the case in land plants). In many organisms, including all animals and land plants (but not some other groups such as fungi), gametes are called sperm in males and egg cells or ova in females. Since meiosis has halved the number of sets of chromosomes, when two gametes fuse during fertilization, the number of sets of chromosomes in the resulting zygote is restored to the original number
