and Life Cycles
Chapter 12
KEY TERMS
•
DIPLOID (2N)
•
•
•
The condition of having two sets of
chromosomes per nucleus
In somatic cells of diploid organisms,
chromosomes are present in pairs
HAPLOID (N)
•
The condition of having one set of
chromosomes per nucleus
KEY TERMS
•
HOMOLOGOUS CHROMOSOMES
•
Members of a chromosome pair that are
similar in size, shape, and genetic constitution
KEY TERMS
•
CELL CYCLE
•
Cyclic series of events in the life of a dividing
eukaryotic cell
KEY TERMS
•
INTERPHASE
•
Stage of the cell cycle between successive
mitotic divisions
Interphase
•
During interphase
•
•
•
cell grows and prepares for next division
DNA replicates
Interphase is divided into
•
•
•
first gap phase (G1)
synthesis phase (S)
second gap phase (G2)
KEY TERMS
•
MITOSIS
•
Division of the cell nucleus resulting in two
daughter nuclei, each with the same number
of chromosomes as the parent nucleus
KEY TERMS
•
CYTOKINESIS
•
Stage of cell division in which the cytoplasm
divides to form two daughter cells
Cell Cycle
Stages of Mitosis
•
•
•
•
Prophase
Metaphase
Anaphase
Telophase
Prophase
•
Chromatin condenses into chromosomes
•
•
•
•
Nucleolus disappears
Nuclear envelope breaks down
Mitotic spindle begins to form
At the end of prophase, each duplicated
chromosome is composed of two sister
chromatids
A Duplicated Chromosome
KEY TERMS
•
SPINDLE
•
Structure consisting mainly of microtubules
that provides the framework for chromosome
movement during cell division
Metaphase
•
Duplicated chromosomes line up along
midplane of cell
Anaphase
•
Sister chromatids separate and move to
opposite poles of the cell
•
Each chromatid is now a separate
chromosome
Telophase
•
Nuclear envelope forms around each set
of chromosomes
•
•
•
Nucleoli reappear
Chromosomes lengthen and become
chromatin
Spindle disappears
KEY TERMS
•
CELL PLATE
•
•
Structure that forms during cytokinesis in
plants, separating two daughter cells
produced by mitosis
Cytokinesis generally takes place in
telophase

KEY TERMS
•
MEIOSIS
•
•
Process in which a 2n cell undergoes
successive nuclear divisions, potentially
producing four n nuclei
Leads to formation of spores in plants
Meiosis
•
Meiosis must occur at some time in the life
of a sexually reproducing organism if
gametes are to be haploid
•
Meiosis consists of two cell divisions
•
•
Meiosis I
Meiosis II
Meiosis I
•
Members of each homologous pair of
chromosomes separate and are
distributed into separate nuclei in two
daughter cells
•
Chromosomes were duplicated prior to
meiosis I, so each consists of two chromatids
Meiosis II
•
Chromatids separate into individual
chromosomes and are distributed into
different haploid daughter cells
•
Four haploid cells form
KEY TERMS
•
SYNAPSIS
•
Physical association of homologous
chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis
Crossing Over
•
Crossing over
•
•
Exchange of segments of homologous
chromosomes
Synapsis and crossing over occur during
prophase I of meiosis
Crossing Over
Meiosis
Meiosis
LEARNING OBJECTIVE
•
Compare and contrast mitosis and
meiosis
Mitosis
•
Involves a single nuclear division in which
the two daughter cells formed are
genetically identical to each other and to
the original cell
•
Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
does not occur during mitosis
Meiosis
•
Involves two successive nuclear divisions
and forms four haploid cells, each with a
different combination of genes
•
Synapsis of homologous chromosomes
occurs during prophase I of meiosis
Mitosis and Meiosis
KEY TERMS
•
Alternation of generations
•
•
SPOROPHYTE
•
•
Plants alternate haploid and diploid generations
2n, spore-producing stage in plant life cycle
GAMETOPHYTE
•
n, gamete-producing stage in plant life cycle
The Sporophyte
•
The 2n, spore-producing stage in the life
cycle of a plant
•
A diploid sporophyte plant forms haploid
spores by meiosis
•
A spore divides mitotically to form a
haploid gametophyte plant
The Gametophyte
•
The n, gamete-producing stage in the life
cycle of a plant
•
The gametophyte produces haploid
gametes by mitosis
•
Two gametes fuse to form a diploid
zygote, which divides mitotically to
produce a diploid sporophyte
