Mitosis and Meiosis When Cells Divide

When Do Cells Divide? Cell reaches maximum size. Growth Repair Reproduction

Two Types of Reproduction Asexual: One parent. EX: Bacteria, Fungi, some plants, & some animals. Offspring is genetically identical to their parent Sexual: Genetic material from two parents.

Meiosis Cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes is reduced by half, so that the daughter cells are haploid.

Assessment In your notebook, define the term haploid, using your own words. If 2n = 46, what is the value of n?

Meiosis Humans have 46 chromosomes. (23 pairs) Diploid: Cell that contains two complete sets of chromosomes. (2n) Almost all the cells in your body are diploid.

Assessment Give three examples in your body where you have diploid cells.

Haploid Cells Cells that contain only one set of chromosomes (n). Egg and Sperm cell are haploid Gametes

Homologous Chromosomes 23 pairs of chromosomes. Females = XX Males = XY

Meiosis I and Meiosis II Each stage has four parts to it. 1 cell becomes 4. Meiosis I creates 2 diploid daughter cells. These go on to Meiosis II, now have 4 haploid cells.
