Document Summary

Meiosis leads to sex cell (gamete) production. The daughter cells have all the genetic material they need, but half as many chromosomes as parent (23 not 46 in humans) Mitosis leads to the production of all other cells (somatic cells) The genetic material is copied and divided equally (46 chromosomes in humans) The daughter cell is genetically identical to the parent cell. Mitosis is responsible for growth, wound repair, and asexual reproduction in some species. An unreplicated chromosome when replicates, replicates gene too. Replicate is not an additional chromosome, it creates a sister chromatid. Cells are not always divided; only if they need to be. Length of the arrow in this slide represents the length of time this process takes (mitosis is very quick) Interphase is not apart of mitosis but it begins it. S phase is when exact copies are made of the chromosomes. In prophase, chromosomes condense and become much more distinct.
