Cell Reproduction
Mitosis and Binary Fission
Three
Schemes
Major Events in Mitosis
Vocabulary
• Mitosis = division of the cell nucleus and
its contents
• Cytokinesis = the division of cell
cytoplasm into two identical daughter
cells
• Chromatin = the combination of DNA
and histone proteins
• Diploid = Two copies of each

Telomeres
 Do not code for genes
 Keep ends of chromosomes
from sticking to each
other
 Prevent loss of genes

Binary Fission
The primary method of
reproduction for
prokaryotes
Does not require a
mate
Is asexual
reproduction
Does not increase the
variation in a population
