Mitosis and Meiosis Overview of Mitosis Overview of Mitosis

Mitosis and Meiosis
Overview of Mitosis
G2 of Interphase
•  Mitosis produces two
Chromatin
(duplicated)
identical cells
–  Stages of mitosis
–  Alignment and
separation of
chromosomes
–  Cytokinesis
•  Meiosis produces
DNA replication

Metaphase:
Chromosomes align in
center of cell
Anaphase:
Sister chromatids
separate

Prophase:
Chromosomes begin to
condense. Spindle
starts to form
Prometaphase

breaks down.

How do the cytoplasmic
organelles divide?
The human life cycle
Key
•  Mitochondria (and chloroplasts) are
present in multiple copies, and
randomly segregate into the two
daughter cells.

Meiosis only
occurs during
gamete
formation
•  Membrane bound organelles (e.g.
ER) fragment along with the nuclear
membrane and are reconstructed in
the daughter cells
Gametes are the
only haploid cells

•  Produce genetically
identical offspring by
