The cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis for schools and colleges

meiosis  Interphase There are two stages or phases of meiosis: meiosis I and meiosis II Before a dividing cell enters meiosis, it undergoes a period Mitosis and meiosis are two kinds of cell division that are essential to most forms of life on earth Here we investigate the key

Through the process of meiosis, the sporophyte produces haploid spores in the flower The spores are the gametophytic generation Meiosis occurs in the male The duplicated chromosomes align on a second spindle, and the sister chromatids separate to produce cells with a haploid DNA content Meiosis thus consists of a

Meiosis II is needed to separate sister chromatids Meiosis I creates two haploid cells, but they still each contain a copy, hence the chromatid and its The duplicated chromosomes align on a second spindle, and the sister chromatids separate to produce cells with a haploid DNA content Meiosis thus consists of a
