Mitosis and Meiosis (Similarities)
|
~ Both go through 4 phases, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Teleophase
~ DNA Replication must take place before either process begins |

|
|
Where does Mitosis occur?
|
In the Somatic Cells
|
|
|
Where does Meiosis occur?
|
In the Gonads
(Testes ~ Males) (Ovaries ~ Females) |
|

|
|
Purpose of Mitosis
|
For Repair, Replacement and Growth
|
|
|
Purpose of Meiosis
|
To produce Gametes
|
|
|
DEFINITION: Gonads
|
The sexual reproduction organs that produce gametes.
|
|
|
DEFINITION: Karyotype
|
The process of ordering of all of the chromosomes in an organism.
|
|
|
ORDER OF CELL DIVISION
|
1. Mitosis
2. Cytokinesis 3. Interphase |
|
|
Why aren't chromosomes visible during Interphase?
|
Because during Prophase the chromatin condense and thicken becoming chromatides. Once the chromosomes are chromatid they are visible.
|
|
|
DEFINITION: Homologous Pairs
|
Same Length
Same Banding Pattern Position of the centromere is the same. |
