1. Mitosis & Meiosis
Mr. Davis

2. Mitosis
The process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes

3. Mitosis
Mitosis is a process of cell division which results in the production of two daughter cells from a single parent cell.

4. Prophase: 4 Phases of Mitosis
Each chromosome has duplicated and consists of two sister chromatid’s.
At the end of prophase, the nuclear envelope breaks down into vesicles.
Metaphase:
The chromosomes align at the equitorial plate and are held in place by microtubules attached to the mitotic spindle and to part of the centromere.

5. 4 Phases of Mitosis
Anaphase: The centromere’s divide. Sister chromatid’s separate and move toward the corresponding poles.  
Telophase: Daughter chromosomes arrive at the poles and the microtubules disappear. The condensed chromatin expands and the nuclear envelope reappears.

11. Meiosis Meiosis involves two cell divisions: Meiosis I and Meiosis II.
Meiosis I separates the matching - or 'homologous' - pairs of chromosomes.
Meiosis II divides each chromosome into two copies (much like mitosis).
