1	Cell Reproduction Mitosis & Meiosis
2
3	Cell Cycle
4	Mitosis One type of cell division
5	Mitosis allows for growth and replaces worn out or damaged cells.
6	Interphase Period of growth & development Hereditary information (DNA) copied (replicated / duplicated) Cells that do not divide (nerves) are always in interphase
7
8	Prophase DNA begins to shorten & thicken Now called chromatids / chromosomes Centromeres form Nuclear membrane breaks apart Spindle fibers form
9
10	Metaphase Chromatids / chromosomes line up Centromere attaches to spindle fibers
11
12	Anaphase Centromeres divide Spindle fibers shorten Chromatid pairs separate – move to ends of cell Chromatids are now called Each ½ of the pair is now called a chromosome
13
14	Telophase Spindle fibers disappear Chromosomes uncoil Nuclear membrane forms Cell divides (cytokinesis)

18	Results of Mitosis Division of nucleus Nuclei are identical to each other Same number & type of chromosomes
19	Asexual Reproduction A type of reproduction - fission, budding, and regeneration - in which a new organism is produced from one parent and has DNA identical to the parent organism.
20	Asexual Reproduction Offspring produced from one organism Hereditary information is identical Mitosis is one form of asexual reproduction
21	Sexual Reproduction Meiosis
22	Sexual Reproduction A type of reproduction in which two sex cells, usually an egg and a sperm, join to form a zygote, which will develop into a new organism with a unique identity.
23	Sexual reproduction results in a great variety, or diversity, of offspring.
24	Meiosis The nucleus divides twice Meiosis I Meiosis II
25
26	Interphase DNA is duplicated
27	Prophase I DNA shorten & thicken Forms chromatids / chromosomes
28
29	Metaphase I Copied chromatids / chromosomes line up in middle of cell Centromeres attach to spindle fibers
30
31	Anaphase I Chromatid pairs are pulled apart They DO NOT separate Move to ends of cell
32
33	Telophase I Cell divides No further replication of hereditary material
34
35	There are now two cells. Both cells have full sets of genetic material (chromosomes)
36	Prophase II Similar to mitosis Starts with TWO cells instead of one Spindle fibers appear
37
38	Metaphase II Duplicated chromatid / chromosomes line up in middle of cell Spindle fibers attach to centromeres
39
40	Anaphase II Centromere divides Chromatids separate & move to ends of cell Chromatids are now individual chromosomes
41
42	Telophase II Spindle fibers disappear Nuclear membranes form at each end of cell Cells divide Results in 4 cells Each with ½ the original number of chromosomes

45	In summary: Meiosis Two cells form during meiosis I In meiosis II, both of these cells form two cells The two divisions of the nucleus result in four sex cells (gametes) Each has one-half the number of chromosomes in its nucleus that was in the original nucleus
