Mitosis and meiosis are the two major processes by which eukaryotic cells reproduce. Compare and contrast the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Consider the stages involved in each and their eventual products. How are the differences biologically significant relative to growth and reproduction? Be prepared to discuss how life is dependent upon both types of cellular reproduction. Mitosis is equal division of a cell and Meiosis is specialized type of cell division of chromosomes within a cell

gametes by mitosis. Two gametes (originating from different organisms of the same species or from the same organism) combine to produce a zygote‚ which develops into a diploid plant of the sporophyte generation. This sporophyte produces spores by meiosis‚ which germinate and develop into a gametophyte of the next generation. This cycle‚ from gametophyte to gametophyte‚ is the way in which plants and many algae undergo sexual reproduction. Nontracheophyte plants including the liverworts‚ hornworts

Down Syndrome is a chromosomal condition related to chromosome 21. It affects 1 in 800 to 1 in 1000 born infants. People who have Down Syndrome have learning difficulties‚ mental retardation‚ a different facial appearance‚ and poor muscle tone (hypotonia) in infancy. Individuals with Down Syndrome also have an increased risk for having heart defects‚ digestive problems such as “gastroesophageal reflux or celiac disease”‚ and hearing loss. Some people who have Down Syndrome have “low activity of

recombination. Recombination is the process of re-combining things. Recombination happens sexual reproduction and during meiosis. Mutations that happen during sexual reproduction is random fertilization. It is when any sperm and egg meet randomly during fertilization. Recombination also happens during sperm and egg production or meiois. Mutations also occur during meiosis. Meiosis is what makes the gametes or the sperm and egg.

form mature haploid gametes. There are two forms of gametogenesis‚ spermatogenesis (male)‚ and oogenesis (female). “Meiosis and gametogenesis are critical processes in the transmission of genetic material to subsequent generations during sexual reproduction”(Frederic 8346). In other words‚ gametogenesis is the production of sperm and eggs‚ through the process of meiosis. “During meiosis‚ two cell divisions separate the paired chromosomes in the nucleus and then separate the chromatids that were made

Aquatic Adaptation Aquatic plants - also called hydrophytic plants orhydrophytes - are plants that have adapted to living in aquatic environments. -One of the main problems facing submerged aquatic plants is their inability to obtain oxygen. Unlike terrestrial plants‚ these plants cannot obtain the vital gas through their stomata because they are submerged in water. -Therefore‚ the stems‚ roots‚ and leaves of submerged aquatic plants posses aerenchyma cells‚ which supply oxygen to the rest of
