MITOSIS:

Chromatin strands _______ and

________ forming a thick rod
______________which is now
clearly visible.
Chromosomes undergo
____________ forming two
__________________ attached at
the centromere.

Importance of mitosis:

Cells of the reproductive organs

Undergo cell division by meiosis

A type of cell division occurring in

_________ cells in which a parent
cell divides into ____ daughter

cells.

All body cells except reproductive

cells

Nuclear membrane and

nucleolus _________
Spindle fibre ___________.
Centrioles move to __________
poles connected to spindle
fibres.

Once they reach the opposite

poles, the spindle fibres start to
_____________
A nuclear membrane and
nucleolus reform
A division of cytoplasm
(___________) begin to form _______

Chromosomes line up
themselves at the _________
of cell with their centromere
in the middle of spindle
fibres.

The centromere of each

chromosome splits into
two.
The sister chromatids
___________ and move to
the ___________ poles.

Meiosis:
A type of cell division occurring in ________ cells in which a parent cell divides
into ________ daughter cells, each containing half (______) the number of
chromosomes of the parent cell..

In 1st stage of meiosis,

Chromosomes replicate to
form sister chromatids
Pairing homologous
chromosomes
Crossing over occur
Homologous chromosomes
separated
Two haploid daughter cell
formed

In 2nd stage of meiosis,

Sister chromatids separated
Four haploid daughter cell
formed

Importances of meiosis

Crossing over is the

__________
of
genetic
material which occurs at
the
_______
of
the
chromatids
when
homologous chromosomes
are__________.
