Ryan Juergens 01/29/2013 Pd:05th Mitosis VS. Meiosis All living things are made of cells from bacteria to the most complex being on earth us. These cells must reproduce in some way one method is mitosis that would take place in bacteria while‚ another way is meiosis one that you may have heard of in sex education. These‚ two processes may seem similar at first but as you take a closer look like we do in this essay you will learn that these processes are very different in many distinctive

PRACTICAL 2 Title: Modelling of mitosis Objectives: To represent the pairs of homologous chromosomes by using pairs of model chromosomes. Introduction: Materials: 1. Noodles 2. Cutter Method: 1. The pair of model chromosomes is used to demonstrate how the two chromosomes line up at the beginning of mitosis. 2. After that the way of the sister chromatids of each chromosome separate into two separate chromosomes is demonstrated. 3. The spindle fibers that pull the sister chromatids apart is represented

Question: How does mitosis produce new cells‚ and how is mitosis the same and different? Materials: - Compound microscope - Alliums root slide - Whitefish embryo slide - Power supply Procedure: Refer to page 48 and 49 in the textbook. Results: See attached sheet for drawings of my results. Discussion: Analyze and interpret question 1 and 2 on page 49. 1. The cells in the root tip region of the alliums differ quite a bit from the cells that are found deeper in the root

More than one celled organisms grow by way of mitosis and the cytoplasmic division of body cells. On the other hand‚ meiosis occurs only in germ cells‚ which are put aside for the formation of gametes (sperm and egg). Reproduction by meiosis allows for species survival and it increases genetic variability. The process‚ during which the germ cells are generated is called meiosis. It represents nature’s solution to the problem of chromosome doubling that would occur‚ if two diploid cells‚ i.e.

Chemistry Quiz June 7‚ 2010 Name:_________________________________________ Score:______ 1. A sample of gas occupies a volume of 7.50 L at 0.988 atm and 28.0 °C. (a) Calculate the pressure of the gas if its volume is decreased to 4.89 L while its temperature is held constant. (b) At what temperature in degrees Celsius is the volume of the gas 4.0 L if the pressure is kept constant. 2. Calcium carbonate‚ CaCO3(s)‚ decomposes upon heating to give CaO(s) and CO2 (g). A sample of CaCO3

Meiosis and mitosis are both types of cell division. Cell division is the reproduction of cells‚ and requires the duplication of chromosomes. Mitosis takes place when the nucleus divides. Meiosis is a type of cell division that produces haploid gametes in diploid organisms. Mitosis and meiosis are two very different processes. While meiosis only requires the cell to divide twice‚ the cell only divides once during mitosis. This causes meiosis to produce four cells and mitosis to produce two cells

Name Class Date Guided Inquiry • Skills Lab Chapter 11 Lab Modeling Meiosis Problem How does meiosis increase genetic variation? Introduction Most cells in organisms that reproduce sexually are diploid. They have two sets of chromosomes and two complete sets of genes. Gametes are an exception. Gametes are the cells that combine during sexual reproduction. In animals‚ these cells are called sperm and eggs. Gametes are haploid cells with only one set of chromosomes. Meiosis

Comparing Mitosis and Meiosis Observe: 1. Organisms have a number of chromosomes in each of their body or somatic cells that is unique for that organism. This is called their diploid or 2n number. 2. Cells go through a cell cycle‚ whereby‚ much of the cycle does not include division‚ but at the end of this interphase in their cycle‚ they go through mitosis. 3. Cells replicate their DNA in the S phase of the cell cycle. 4. In the process of mitosis‚ cells replicate their DNA in the nucleus‚ form

Mitosis: (onion roots) Root cells are good for observing mitosis; this is because they’re in the tip of the root which is an area of the plant that grows quickly. This results in more cells going through mitosis all at once‚ also allowing us to examine the different stages of mitosis. Stages: 1. Interphase: DNA replicates‚ but has not formed the condensed structure. They remain as loosely coiled chromatin. The nucleus is still intact. 2. Prophase: The DNA molecules progressively shorten

to each other. Important for mitosis and meiosis. The relationship is that each chromosome consists of chromatin. Once replicated‚ a chromosome consists of two identical chromatids‚ which are attached to a section of the DNA called the centromere. 3. List the phases of mitosis and describe what is happening in each phase. Mitosis‚ results in identical cells. 46 chromosomes. It is important for: maintenance‚ repair‚ growth‚ and regeneration. The phases of mitosis are prophase‚ metaphase‚ anaphase
