Reproduction: Mitosis and Meiosis EOC Review

Parent & Daughter Cells • Cells come from pre-existing cells • Parent cells divide to produce daughter cells

Chromosomes • Store genetic information, made of DNA and protein • Karyotype: shows normal number of chromosomes in each cell

Questions • How many chromosomes are in the karyotype? • How many pairs of chromosomes? • Is subject male or female? • Which are homologous?

Questions • How many chromosomes are in the karyotype? 46 • How many pairs of chromosomes? 23 • Is subject male or female? male • Which are homologous? all but XY but even XY pairs together for division

Comparing Mitosis & Meiosis MITOSIS Purpose of Process Number of Daughter Cells Produced Number of Chromosomes in Parent Cell (Human) Daughter Cells Diploid (2 n) Or Haploid (n)? Daughter Cells Genetically Identical to Parent? Daughter Cells Genetically Identical to Each Other? MEIOSIS

Comparing Mitosis & Meiosis MITOSIS MEIOSIS Purpose of Process To create new cells for growth, repair, etc To create sex cells for reproduction Number of Daughter Cells Produced 2 4 Number of Chromosomes in Parent Cell (Human) 46 46 Daughter Cells Diploid (2 n) Or Haploid (n)? 2 n (diploid) n (haploid) Daughter Cells Genetically Identical to Parent? Yes No Daughter Cells Genetically Identical to Each Other? Yes No

Types of Reproduction • Sexual: union of 2 germ cells (gametes) by fertilization – 50% of DNA from each parent • Asexual: reproduction that does not involve fusion of gametes – Progeny identical to parents

Sexual Reproduction • Advantages: genetic recombination • Disadvantages: energy and effort

Asexual Reproduction • Cloning: process of producing identical organisms • Budding: method of asexual reproduction in which juvenile grows out of adult • Binary fission: used by bacteria, cell is split into two identical cells

Asexual Reproduction: Budding

Asexual Reproduction: Binary fission

Answers to Questions follow #5 1. Which of these is not a difference between mitosis and meiosis? A) Mitosis results in two cells; meiosis results in four. B) Mitosis is a form of asexual reproduction; meiosis is a form of sexual reproduction. C) Mitosis produces cells with a full set of chromosomes; meiosis produces cells with a half set of chromosomes. D) Mitosis occurs only in multicellular organisms such as paramecia; meiosis occurs only in multicellular organisms such as humans.
