Mitosis & Meiosis
  1. Mitosis
    1. Mitosis enables repair, growth and development
      1. used in asexual reproduction
        1. produces cells with identical number of chromosomes and genetic information (46 in humans)
          1. results in 2 daughter cells, each identical to the parent (clones)
            1. only one round of cellular division and genetic separation
              1. daughter cells are diploid (2 sets of chromosomes = 46)
                1. stages of mitosis
                  1. stage 1: Prophase - contains twice as many chromosomes as before. The chromosomes become shorter and thicker. They each move to the opposite end of the cell
                    1. stage 2: Metaphase - each chromatid pair becomes attached by their centromeres to spindle fibres. Then all chromatid pairs are lined up in the middle of the cell
                      1. stage 3: Anaphase - the centromeres split and the two chromatids of each double chromosome separate. The chromatids of each pair then dragged to the opposite ends of the cell
                        1. Interphase: where the cell spends most of its life living, growing and producing proteins
                          1. stage 4: Telophase: the group of chromatids assemble at the ends of the cell. The spindle fibres disintegrate and a nuclear envelope forms around the chromosomes at each end. A crease (called a cleavage) forms in the middle of the cell and the cell then splits by a process called cytokinesis.
                            1. two new identical cells, called daughter cells, are formed
                          2. Meiosis
                            1. for the production of sex cells
                              1. produces gametes for sexual reproduction
                                1. produces daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent (23 in humans)
                                  1. 2 rounds of genetic separation and cellular division
                                    1. daughter cells re not genetically identical to the parent cells
                                      1. daughter cells are haploid (half of a set of chromosomes)
                                        1. occurs in testes and ovaries
                                          1. daughter cells have homologous pairs of chromosomes
