MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS
Vocabulary
Cell: Smallest structural and functional unit of an
organism. Our bodies are made of them.
Somatic cell: All cells in the body, except for germ cells
Germ cell: Contain half of the number of chromosomes. Only
found in the ovaries and testes (reproductive organs)
Cell division: How cells reproduce by splitting apart.
There are two types: Mitosis and Meiosis.
Mitosis: The way in which somatic cells divide
Meiosis: The ways in which germ cells divide
Type of Cell: somatic germ
Divides by: mitosis meiosis I&II

MITOSIS AND MEIOSIS Vocabulary
chromatid – each of two thread-
like strands into which a
chromosome divides during
mitosis
sister chromatids –
two identical copies of a
chromatid
centromere – a structure in a
chromosome that holds the two
chromatids together

micrographs of chromatids
Cell Division by Mitosis
Mitosis in somatic cells results in two cells
exactly the same as the parent cell
The two new cells are diploid cells
Mitosis involves one “set” of division stages
Mitosis

MITOSI
S Mitosis creates new cells
that can be used for cell
growth and repair.
This image shows a recent cell division and the resulting two daughter
cells, including two nuclei and unwinding chromosomes.
After a cell goes through
mitosis, how many cells
are there?

MITOSI
S Mitosis is also used for
asexual reproduction:
1. budding
2. vegetative
reproduction
3. binary fission
4. fragmentation
(Examples: some
types of jellyfish,
worms, and
plants)

MITOSI
S
• Four basic phases
1. Prophase
2. Metaphase
3. Anaphase
4. Telophase/Cytokinesis
• Occurs in a strict sequential order called the
cell cycle
• Produces diploid cells (2) with the same
genetic makeup as parent cell

MITOSI
S
Prophase
First phase of mitosis
• Chromosomes condense and
become visible through a
microscope
• Spindles begin to form
• The nuclear membrane
breaks down
• Centrioles begin moving
toward the poles
The nuclear membrane breaks apart
to allow the contents to be used in
mitosis. What is stored in the
nucleus? chromosomes nuclear
membrane
centrioles

MITOSI
S
Metaphase
Second phase of mitosis
• The chromosomes, guided by the spindle
(microtubule) fibers, line up in the middle of the
dividing cell
• The centrosomes are at opposite ends (spindle poles) of
the cell
centrosome
spindle fibers
chromosomes
centrosome - an organelle near the
nucleus of a cell that contains the
centrioles (in animal cells) and from
which the spindle fibers develop in cell
division

MITOSI
S
Anaphase
Third phase of mitosis
• The two sister chromatids of each chromosome are pulled
apart by the spindle fibers
• Chromatids move away from each other toward the poles;
now each one is called a chromosome
• The cell elongates so that the poles are farther
apart
Why does the cell get longer during anaphase??
chromosomes
spindle fibers

MITO
SIS
Telophase (and cytokinesis)
The last phase of mitosis
• The chromosomes have reached
the poles and begin to unwind
• Two new nuclear envelopes form
around each of the two separated
sets of chromosomes (forming
two nuclei in one cell)
cleavage furrow
at midbody
new nuclear
envelopes

Fluorescent scan of
final stage of mitosis
• The cleavage furrow begins separating the cytoplasm into
two cells, each with a nucleus (this is cytokinesis)
• When complete, the cell has divided into two daughter cells
exactly like the parent cell

MITOSI
S Interphase
Occurs between mitosis
cycles
• Chromatin is unwound
• The cell grows in
preparation for cell
division
• Note the position of the
centrioles
• Just before mitosis starts,
single chromosomes
replicate to make a pair of
long, stringy sister
chromatids
centrioles
unwound
chromatin
nucleolus
nucleus
Where is the
chromatin during
interphase?

THINK ABOUT IT
Mitosis was named in 1882 by a German scientist. The
name was taken from the ancient Greek word mitos,
which means “string”. What parts of mitosis may have
inspired this name?

MEIOS
IS
Germ cells
• Found only in reproductive
organs
• spermatozoa
(sperm cells)
• ova (egg cells)
• 23 chromosomes
• Divide by meiosis
Which cells are more common in the
human body, germ cells or somatic cells?

MEIOSIS
Cell Division by Meiosis I and II
• Meiosis in germ cells results in a variety of genetically different offspring
• Involves two “sets” of division stages (meiosis I & II)
Meiosis results in haploid (4) cells

chromosomes in the parent

Crossing

Crossing Over
Meiosis Vocabulary
• homologous chromosomes – During meiosis, the
matching paternal (from the father) and maternal
(from the mother) chromosomes pair up inside a cell
• crossover – This is the process where homologous
chromosomes pair up and exchange genetic material
to form new chromosomes
• haploid cells – Four cells form as a result of
meiosis. Each one is genetically different from each
other and the parent cells

MEIOSIS
By Ali Zifan - Own work; Campbell Biology (10th Edition) by: Jane B. Reece & Steven A. Wasserman., commons.wikimedia.org/
Meiosis cell division occurs in two sets of stages, meiosis I and II
Meiosis I Meiosis II

MEIOS
IS
Meiosis I – Prophase I
First phase of meiosis I
• Chromosomes become
visible under a microscope
as they condense
• Homologous chromosome
pairs align and crossover
occurs
• Nuclear envelope disappears
• Spindles enter nucleus
What is the role of the spindle fibers?
(Hint, it is the same as mitosis.)
centrioles
spindles
homologous chromosomes
nuclear envelope
fragments

MEIOS
IS
Meiosis I – Prophase I
What is “crossover”?
• Crossover is part of
prophase I
• Crossover “swaps” genetic
material between two
homologous chromosomes
The result is more genetic
diversity This shows the crossing-over process,
which occurs in the nucleus.
This shows the crossing-over process,

MEIOSIS
Meiosis I – Metaphase I
Second phase of meiosis I
• Crossover is complete
• Homologous chromosome
pairs move toward the
center and line up
• Spindle fibers attach to the
centromere of each
chromosome

What is crossover?

THINK ABOUT IT
The names of the phases of cell division were inspired by ancient Greek words. For
each of these prefixes, describe why that Greek meaning is a good fit for the phase
it names.
prefix meanings explain
pro- before; in front of
meta- after; in the middle of
ana- again; return
telo- end; completion

MEIOS
IS
Meiosis I – Anaphase I
Third phase of meiosis I
• Cell starts to lengthen
• Two of each chromosome
pairs separate and are pulled by
the spindle fibers toward
opposite poles
• In meiosis, the chromatids
remain together. This is in
contrast to mitosis, where
sister chromatids separate
sister chromatids
remain together
spindle fibers
homologous
chromosomes
move to opposite
poles of the cell
What remains together and what separates
during anaphase I?

MEIOSIS
Meiosis I – Telophase I
Fourth phase of meiosis I
• Complete haploid (4) sets
of chromosomes
• A cleavage furrow appears
• By the end of the stage the
parent cell has divided into
two daughter cells
• This separation of
cytoplasm is called
cytokinesis
2 new daughter
cells form

Last phase of meiosis II
• Chromosomes reach
opposite poles
• Cytokinesis (separation of
cytoplasm) occurs and
nuclear envelopes form
• Meiosis is complete with
four daughter cells
(haploid), each different
from the other and from
the parent cell

Using these images, compare the
chromosomes in the initial parent cell
with the haploid daughter cells.

MEIOSIS
Summary of Meiosis
• Form of cell division that results in half the number of
chromosomes in gametes or sex cells (sperm and ova)
• Maintains the same number of chromosomes from
generation to generation
• Results in an assortment of genetic material passed on to
offspring
The numbers on the right represent how many chromosomes are found in each
human cell during meiosis.
Compare what happens to the number of chromosomes during meiosis.
