Meiosis

At the end of the lab, there were several different Chromaseratops offspring. It is like that because of meiosis. That process creates the cells and gives them chromosomes which become homologous pairs. From there, you can make a lot of different combinations of gametes. For this lab, there was 8 different gametes since there was 3 homologous pairs. For a human there would be way more combinations since we have 23 pairs or 46 chromosomes. Through independent assortment, you receive 2 homologous…

Introduction It is estimated that there are one trillion species on earth despite all being originated from one common ancestor, LUCA. In this essay the importance and origin of diversity within species and between species is explored using Coleoptera as the taxonomic group. Coleoptera is the most dominant order of insects with 350,000-400,000 species, this is 40% of all insect species (Gillott, 1995) and the largest order in the animal kingdom. The degree of differences between individuals is…

In order to keep living organisms healthy cells have to go through many stages to replace damaged or worn out cells. One of the necessary steps is mitosis. Mitosis is the process of the body cell and nuclei dividing. This division is the cause of bodies growing and cells repairing. This division is a continuous process which there is four major steps; prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Mitosis is comprised of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In prophase chromosomes…

Mitosis & Meiosis are the two major cell division processes. We know that mitosis is used for fulfilling a body’s cell division requirements. However, meiosis is use solely used for one purpose in a human body. It is used for the production of gametes cells, also known as the sex cells. Mitosis and meiosis are quite similar in processes with very few differences. One of the differences is that mitosis has one division whereas there are two divisions in meiosis. This is the reason meiosis is also…

Meiosis starts: DNA Replicates I am going to draw a nucleus with DNA inside it represented with beads as the four pairs of chromosomes. Outside of the nucleus there will be centrioles drawn. This is where meiosis begins and replicates the cell Spindle fibers start to form on the centrioles and chromosome pairs bind together making tetrads. Nuclear membrane starts to dissolve. Nuclear membrane will be drawn in dashed lines. The chromosomes will be homologous pairs with centromere in the center…

mitosis and meiosis. Chromatin in Meiosis and Mitosis are shown differently in Interphase. In Mitosis, the chromatin is made up of DNA and proteins. The DNA coils around the protein and that structure is called a nucleosome. Each chromatid in Mitosis is made up of many strings of the DNA and proteins (nucleosomes) to form a half X. The chromosome is made up of two of the chromatids (DNA and proteins-nucleosomes) to form one X. Chromatin in Meiosis are made up of chromatids. Before meiosis I…

a single parent cell. Meiosis is a type of cell division resulting in the production of sperm or eggs that have half the chromosomes of the parent cell. Mitosis and meiosis are similar in a way that they are both ways in which cells reproduce. Mitosis and Meiosis both occur in humans and animals. In both cases (Mitosis and Meiosis), cells copy DNA and make new cells based on the information of parent cells. However, in Mitosis, the cell only divides once and in Meiosis, there are two…

Within nuclear division are two different types: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction in which one diploid parent cell is divided into two identical diploid cells. On the other hand, meiosis is an example of sexual reproduction, in which two diploid parent cells both contribute genetic material to form four haploid cells which each have half the genetic material contained in the parent cell. Mitosis and meiosis are similar in that they both result in the separation of…

Oliver 2 December 2016 EXSC 223 Assignment Four 1. Define Meiosis. Compare and contrast meiosis with mitosis. Meiosis is the nuclear division process that reduces the chromosomal number by half and results in the formation of four haploid (n) cells; occurs only in certain reproductive organs. Mitosis has only one division consisting of prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, meiosis has two divisions each of the 4 phases listed. Also, meiosis has a synapsis of homologous chromosomes…

constantly being made. OpenStax states that the process of new cells being made is called cell division (2013). There are three types of cell division and those are binary fission, mitosis, and meiosis. Binary fission is a quick and simple process involving replication, elongation, separation, and daughter cells. Meiosis and mitosis are more complicated processes of cell division. Mitosis is part of the process used when a cell replicates itself, in its exact form. The cell duplicates…
