Document Summary

Mitosis: produces daughter cells with the 2n chromosome number. Meiosis: occurs in specialized tissues; produces cells with the 1n chromosome number. Homologous chromosomes: pairs of chromosomes of the same length and centromere position that posses genes coding for the same characters. Karyotype: method of organizing and visualizing the chromosomes of a cell (size, number and type). Karyotypes are best viewed at metaphase of mitosis. Gap 1 (g1) increase in cell components, increase in number of organelles. S phase - synthesis of dna, doubling of the genetic material. Gap 2 (g2) - centrioles replicate in animal cells; structure for cytokinesis is put in place. Nucleoli disappear; chromatin condenses; mitotic spindle forms from microtubules in cytoplasm; centrosomes move away from each other. Microtubules of spindle invade the nuclear region and interact with the chromosomes via the kinetochore. Chromosomes arranged at the midplane of the spindle. Kinetochores of sister chromatids are attached to opposite poles. Sister chromatids separate and move toward the poles.
