Meiosis is a type of cell division that is used for sexual reproduction. It creates the egg and the sperm cells. Meiosis begins with a parent cell (diploid)‚ which contains two copies of each chromosome. The cell then goes through DNA copying and two cycles of cell division‚ also known as Meiosis I and Meiosis II. When the cell goes through this cycle‚ it creates four haploid‚ which means they contain half of the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Meiosis I begins with Prophase I. In Prophase

* NCERT 1. Reproduction in Organisms INTRODUCTION Biology in essence is the story of life on earth. While individual organisms die without fail‚ species continue to live through millions of years unless threatened by natural or anthropogenic extinction. Reproduction becomes a vital process without which species cannot survive for long. Each individual leaves its progeny by asexual or sexual means. Sexual mode of reproduction enables creation of new variants‚ so that survival advantage is enhanced

Ryan Juergens 01/29/2013 Pd:05th Mitosis VS. Meiosis All living things are made of cells from bacteria to the most complex being on earth us. These cells must reproduce in some way one method is mitosis that would take place in bacteria while‚ another way is meiosis one that you may have heard of in sex education. These‚ two processes may seem similar at first but as you take a closer look like we do in this essay you will learn that these processes are very different in many distinctive

Practical 1: Observation of mitosis in garlic root tips Introduction The practical will involve the preparation‚ observation‚ and classification‚ of the various stages of mitosis by observing garlic root tips using a microscope. The study comes under the heading of cytogenetics which is the visual characterisation of genetic material and the study of how that material reacts during the life of the cell. Strictly speaking‚ mitosis is the division of the nucleus into two daughter nuclei that are

Biology March 5‚ 2015 Introduction In the Mitosis lab an onion root was observed under a microscope to observe whether or not cell division takes place. Also‚ whether cells replicate in order for it to reproduce. By observing the onion root under the microscope it allows many layers to be looked at through each cell division. The goal of Mitosis is the replication of cells to produce multiple like cells. The steps involved in Mitosis are what is known as the PMAT stages‚ which are the following:

Prophase 1 of meiosis When prophase I occurs the chromosomal condensation enables the chromosomes to be looked at under the microscope. Then during late prophase I the homologous chromosomes laterally pair or usually side by side which is then known to be in synapsis this is when cross connections form from Breakage and re-joining between the chromatids which can occur between the pair homologous chromosomes which then lead to genetic combination between the strands which are there. Chiasma occurs

copy their genetic material. Mitosis is the first stage of cell division‚ in which the copied chromosomes are separated into two new nuclei. Then in cytokinesis the cell divides into two daughter cells. If no mutations or errors occur‚ the genetic material in each daughter cell is identical to what was in the original cell. Now that you have completed this lesson‚ you should be able to: describe the stages of the cell cycle explain the process of mitosis and its role in the formation

My “Whale” to Survive Why do you think any living animal wants to keep living‚ to keep going on? Why do living organisms try so hard to survive? The very idea of just thinking about why organisms and more specifically‚ humans go on living is bewildering. The survival instinct theory states that all organisms have biological tendencies that help them survive. This implies that all behaviors and actions are based on the survival of the individual organism. Therefore‚ based on science‚ I believe that
