Cell cycle
●Interphase
– G1, S, G

●Mitosis– Cytokinesis is division of 1 cell into 2.– Mitosis is separation of chromatids.
● In preparation for cytokinesis●Chromatids are replicate chromosomes.

Phases of mitosis
●Prophase– Chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
●Metaphase– Chromosomes line up across cell.
●Anaphase– Spindle fibers pull chromatids apart.
●Telophase– Chromosomes separate into daughter cells.
Page 8
Ploidy doesn't change during mitosis.
●Ploidy: # of homologues– Homologues: versions of same chromosome– Don't confuse with chromatids
●Haploid (n) or diploid (2n)
●Parent cell is 2n daughter cells are 2n
●Parent cell is n daughter cells are n

Meiosis
●Segregation of homologous chromosomes
●Into haploid gametes
●Meiosis I is the reduction division
●Meiosis II works like mitosis– (But the cells are already haploid)
Page 12
Meiosis I (reduction division)
●Prophase I– Chromatin condenses into chromosomes.
●Metaphase I– Homologous pairs line up across cell.
●Anaphase I– Spindle fibers pull homologues apart.
●Telophase I– Chromosomes separate into daughter cells.
●Ploidy is reduced from 2n to n
Page 13
Meiosis II
●Metaphase II– Chromosomes line up across cell.
●Anaphase II– Spindle fibers pull chromatids apart.
●Telophase II– Chromosomes separate into daughter cells.
●Parent and daughter cells are haploid.

Spermatogenesis in mammals
●Primary spermatocyte (2n)
●Secondary spermatocytes (n)
●Spermatids (n)

Fertilization
●Ovum (1n) and sperm (1n) combine
●Zygote (2n) results

Fertilization and activation
Prevention of polyspermy
Fast block Change in membrane potential.
Slow block Cortical reaction causes vitelline membrane to
separate from cell membrane.
