Meiosis Week 9 Friday October 20, 2023
Today’s Learning Objectives Understand the process of meiosis including the individual stages and the end product. Be able to compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis Review Mitosis occurs in somatic cells. It is the division of a parent cell to form two daughter cells that are genetically identical. We started mitosis with chromosomes that have replicated, giving rise to sister chromatids that are held together at their centromeres. The main goal for mitosis is to pull the daughter chromatids apart and place each in their own nucleus and cell. Equator of cell
There Are Five Mitotic Phases Cytokinesis is cell division and begins during anaphase. Cytokinesis does not always occur with mitosis.
Reproduction Some animals reproduce asexually. Example below are species that are all female.

Meiosis Sexual reproduction requires that meiosis occurs. Chromosome numbers of somatic cells are the same for each species of organisms and except for gametes that will have half that number. For example, the somatic cells of humans have 46 chromosomes, the diploid (2n) number, When meiosis occur in sex cells, i.e., eggs and sperms, their chromosome number is reduced by half, the haploid (1n), because of the separation of homologous chromosomes. When fertilization occurs, the sperm and eggs fuse, the zygote , the first 2n cell of the next generation is formed that reestablishes the 2n number of 46 chromosomes.
