Life Cycle & Meiosis

Main topic

Mitosis

form of asexual reproduction

single cell division

2 identical daughter cels

Meiosis

gurantees continuity of genetic information from 1 generation to another

Subtopic

4 haploid daugheter cells

Meiosis I

starts with bivalent chromosomes

Anaphase: Chromosome disjunction

2 haploid daugher cells

form of sexual reproduction

2 consecutive cell divisions
