DNA and Mitosis review/Meiosi s How do your cells divide?
A few words before we start…..
• Haploid: half of a full set (only 1 set of DNA)• Diploid: full set (1 set from each parent (2 sets)
Asexual Reproduction(one parent)
• Binary Fission-
• Budding
• Vegetative Propagation
• Regeneration Adva

Asexual reproduction
• Advantages:– Doesn’t require a mate– Takes less time
• Disadvantages:– All offspring are the same (genetically)
• Advantages– DIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!!
• Offspring are genetically different from parents.
• Disadvantages?– Need a mate– Takes longer
Sexual reproduction
DNA Replication
• Making a new strand of DNA is actually quite easy.
• Replication occurs in 3 easy steps…
1. DNA Unzips
• An enzyme (helicase) unzips the molecule
• The enzymes breaks the hydrogen bonds that hold the nitrogen bases together.

Now that DNA has replicated, we are ready to begin Mitosis (nucleusof the cell divides)

Interphase: Parent Cell, chromosomes replicated
Prophase: Chromatin condenses into chromosomes, nuclear envelope disappears, centrioles move to opposite poles, spindle fibers form.
Metaphase: Chromosomes align on the equator
Anaphase: Chromosomes separate and chromatids are pulled to opposite poles
Telophase: DNA uncoils, nuclear membrane reappears
Cytokinesis• Cleavage (indention in cell
membrane) or cell plate formation occurs.
• Cell divides.
Animal Cell Plant Cell
It’s all about the chromosomes!
– There are 46 in human body cells– The number of chromosomes remain
constant during Mitosis

Mitosis Review 1. Is the beginning parent
cell diploid or haploid (2n or n)?
2. Are the daughter cells diploid or haploid (2n or n)?
More Mitosis Review
3. How many daughter cells are produced?
4. Are the resulting daughter cells different from the parent cell?
More Mitosis Review
5. Are the resulting daughter cells different from each other?
6. How many chromosomes are in a human parent cell?
7. How many chromosomes are in a human daughter cell?
More Mitosis Review
8.What types of cells are produced by mitosis?
9. Why (when) does a cell go through mitosis?
Prophase I• The chromosomes coil
up and a spindle forms.• Homologous
chromosomes line up with each other gene by gene along their length, to form a four-part structure called a tetrad.
Prophase I – crossing over• Crossing over occurs
between homologous chromosomes new genetic combinations that are different from the parent.
Metaphase I
• The spindle fibers pull the tetrads into the middle, or equator of the cell.
• There is no rule to who is on left or right side independent assortment.
Telophase I• The spindle is broken
down, the chromosomes uncoil slightly, and the cytoplasm divides to yield two new cells.
• Each cell has half the DNA as the original cell because it has only one chromosome from each homologous pair. Haploid
Remember mitosis?
• Meiosis II looks just like mitosis except there is no DNA replication during interphase
Prophase II
• A spindle forms in each of the two new cells and the spindle fibers attach to the chromosomes.
Metaphase II.• Sister chromatids, are
pulled to the center of the cell and line up randomly at the equator.
Telophase II• Finally nuclei reform,
the spindles breakdown, and the cytoplasm divides.
• Four haploid cells have been formed from one diploid cell– All are genetically
different from each other and from the parent cell.
Why meiosis is important
1. Forms gametes for sexual reproduction
2. Crossing over and independent assortment different genetic combinations. diversity!!!

Mitosis vs. Meiosis
Event Mitosis Meiosis
Produces 4 cells
Produces 2 cells
New cells identical
New cells different
New cells have the same number of chromosomes as parent
New cells have fewer chromosomes than parent
