Meiosis vs. Mitosis
Mitosis creates two daughter cells that are identical to the "parent"
Meiosis halves the DNA content in Meiosis I and the MeiosisII resembles mitosis
What are the differences between Haploid and Diploid cells?
Somatic cells
make up the majority of the body's cells
-use mitosis to divide
-these are diploid (2n)
-Two copies of each numbered chromosome plus to sex chromosomes (XX or XY)
Germa Cells (gametes) are the reproductive cells
-
use meiosis to divide
-sperm and egg
these cells are haploid (n)
-when they join they make a diploid embryo
Mendelian Genetics
Because the mother's and fathers gamets each contain one copy of each gene, child inherits one copy of a gene from mother and one from father
