Interphase Not a part of cell division – consists of 3 stages: -G1 (first growth stage) addition of biomass and size -S (synthesis) DNA replication -G2 (second growth stage) reproduction/manufacture of enough organelles for 2 cells

Results of each… Mitosis: 2 genetically identical daughter cells that are diploid (with pairs of chromosomes) Meiosis: 4 genetically diverse daughter cells that are haploid (with half of each chromosome pair)
Meiosis

Chromosome Structure as related to Meiosis Structure of a eukaryotic chromosome. Image from Purves et al., Life: The Science of Biology, 4th Edition, by Sinauer Associates ( and WH Freeman ( Structure and main features of a spindle apparatus.

Sources of Variation Crossing over Independent assortment of chromosomes Segregation of allele pairs (genes) Crossing-over between homologous chromosomes produces chromosomes with new associations of genes and alleles.
