1. Mitosis vs. Meiosis Lab book pages 125-126 03/27/2012 Know: What do you think happens to chromosomes during meiosis? http://www.sligotoday.ie/images/1302971643.jpg

2. Mitosis: Review Occurs when a single cell divides, and two identical daughter cells are made – Daughter cells contain the same number of chromosomes and genetic information as the parent cell http://www.ba-education.com/dna/mitosis.jpg

3. Meiosis: FYI Occurs when a cell divides to create reproductive cells – Nucleus divides to create four nuclei http://www.bio.georgiasouthern.edu/bio- home/harvey/lect/images/meiosis.gif

4. How are Mitosis and Meiosis Different? Mitosis Produces body cells – Cells used for growth and repair Produces 2 daughter cells – Daughter cells are identical – Daughters have 2 sets of chromosomes Meiosis Produces sex cells – Cells used for sexual reproduction Produces 4 daughter cells – Daughter cells have ½ of their genes from parent cell – Daughter cells can get only 1 part of each chromosome

5. How are Mitosis and Meiosis the same? Have cell division – A parent cell divides, and creates daughter cells Have phases of cell division Involve chromosome replication http://www.google.com/imgres?q=cell+division+phas es&um=1&hl=en&client
