Meiosis and Mitosis

Meiosis and Mitosis. Carly, Grace, Kellen, Emma. Meiosis. Produces Haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) Reduced genetic material by half Used in sexual reproduction. Mitosis. Creates diploid cells (not sex cells) Daughter cells are identical to the mother cells Used for growth and repair.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Meiosis and Mitosis Carly, Grace, Kellen, Emma

  2. Meiosis • Produces Haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells) • Reduced genetic material by half • Used in sexual reproduction

  3. Mitosis • Creates diploid cells (not sex cells) • Daughter cells are identical to the mother cells • Used for growth and repair

  4. Phases of mitosis • Interphase • Prophase • Metaphase • Anaphase • telophase

  5. Prophase • Chromation condenses into chromosones • Centriole separate and a spindle forms • Nuclear envelope breaks down

  6. Metaphase • Chromosones line up across the center of the cell • Each chromosome is connected to a spindle fiber at its centromere

  7. Anaphase • Sister chromatids separate into induvidual chromosomes and are moved apart

  8. Telophase • Chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell • Chromosomes lose their distinct shapes and two nuclear envelopes are formed
