Question

Mitosis versus Meiosis 1. Draw a duplicated chromos ome. Label the sister chromatids and the centrome re 2. Writ e mitosis or melosis, as it occurs in humans, by the appropriate statement produces haploid gametes (sperm or eg8s) produces diploid somatic cells (e g. skin, blood) produces cells that are genetically different produces identical daughter cells involved in sexual reproduction involved in general growth and repair _produces 2 cells produces 4 cells How does the arrangement of chromosomes in metaphase I of meiosis differ from those in metaphase of mitosis? 3. 4. How does anaphase I of meiosis differ from anaphase of mitosis? S. What happens to chromatids of each chromosome during anaphase 1 of meiosis?

Explanation / Answer

Meiosis produces the Haploid gametes (sperm and egg)- Reduction division

MITOSIS produces the diploid somatic cells

MEIOSIS produces the cells that are genetically different (recombination) MITOSIS produces the genetically identical cells

MEIOSIS is involved in sexual reproduction (gamete formation)

MITOSIS produces the two cells(diploid cells)

MEIOSIS produces the four cells (Haploid cells)

During the metaphase I of meiosis the homologous pair of chromosome are arranged at the two equatorial plates and their centromere is attached to the opposite poles. In the metaphase of the mitosis on the other hand the chromosome are aligned at a single equatorial plate.

In the anaphase of mitosis the sister chromatids separate and move towards the opposite poles by the help of spindle fibres. In the anaphase I od meiosis the homologous pair of the chromosome separate and move towars the opposite poles.

In the anaphase I of meiosis the sister chromatids remain attached together and the homologous chromosomes move towards the opposite poles.
