The Cell Cycle
Review
The continuity of life is based upon cell
, the
reproduction
of
cells.
Prokaryotes reproduce by a type of cell division called
fission.
Eukaryotic DNA is packaged
into
that condenses into
during cell
division.
Somatic
cells reproduce by
, while gametes reproduce by
.
Mitosis is preceded by an
; together these
constitute
the cell
.
The mitotic phase consists of
, the division of the
nucleus,
and
, the division of the
cytoplasm.

Meiosis and Sexual Life Cycles
Review
In
reproduction, one parent produces genetically
offspring by
fission
or

In
reproduction, two parents produce offspring that have unique combinations of
inherited from each
parent.

occurs when a sperm fuses with an ovum, forming a diploid
, which grows and develops into an adult
organism.
Review: Asexual and Sexual Life Cycles
Since
meiosis
reduces the number of chromosome sets from
to
, two cellular divisions are required, preceded by a single
.
Meiosis
is the chromosome
division.
Meiosis
II then produces
haploid daughter cells.
Summary:
difference between mitosus and meiosis.
Sexual reproduction produces genetic

independent

crossing
, and
random
fertilization.
Review: Genetic Variation
The tremendous genetic variation made possible by meiosis and
reproduction provides raw material for evolution by
selection.
