Spindle Fibers Opposite Sides
534 wordsMitosis is the process of nuclear division in a living cell by which the chromosomes are exactly replicated, the two parts being separated are given to the daughter nuclei. In this process the two daughter cells receive chromosomes that are alike in composition and equal in the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Mitosis consists of four main stages. Mitotic division occurs in somatic (body) cells. The stages are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In interphase the cell seems to...

Germ Cells Daughter Cells
1,558 wordsMore 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 natures solution to the problem of chromosome doubling that would occur, if two diploid cells, i. e. two...

Division Takes Place Mitosis And Meiosis Chromosomes
225 wordsMitosis and Meiosis: how they are similar and different Mitosis and Meiosis are alike in many ways essentially they are both forms of cellular reproduction. Both go through similar cellular division stages. Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase, and Cytokinesis all occur in both Mitosis and Meiosis. Within each stage there are many similarities as well. In Prophase the cell wall begins to disintegrate, the nucleus disappears, chromosomes condense, spindles begin to from, and the k...

Spindle Fibers Daughter Cells
451 wordsThe Process of Mitosis Mitosis The Process of Mitosis is the term used to describe cell division for replication. The product at the end of mitosis is two daughter cells both genetically identical to the original (parent) cell. This process is used for growth and repair within an organism and also for asexual reproduction. There are five main stages to mitosis, called Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase. Although the process has been divided up into these stages the process o...

Nuclear Membrane Daughter Cells
471 wordsMitosis evolved in complex plants and animals for growth and repair. Mitosis, the division of a cell resulting in two identical daughter cells, prolongs an organism s life by replacing old, dead, and damaged cells. In complex animals and plants, mitosis occurs everywhere, except sex cells. Meiosis evolved in complex plants and animals to increase variation in offspring and to maintain the number of chromosomes from generation to generation. Meiosis occurs in the sex cells of organisms, specifica...

Centromere Of Each Chromosome Telophase Ii Meiosis
200 wordsMeiosis is the reproduction of sex or germ cells in which there are two divisions required to complete the process. They are called meiosis I and meiosis II. In meiosis I, members of homologous pairs of chromosomes divide into two complete sets. There are four stages: prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, and telophase I... -Prophase I is the first phase in meiosis I. At this point, the cell prepares itself for division. -In metaphase I, the centromere of each chromosome attaches to the spindle. ...
