Cell Division
SC.912.L.16.17
Compare and contrast
mitosis and meiosis and
relate to the processes
of sexual and asexual
reproduction and their
consequences for
genetic variation

What do I need to know?
 Describe specific events occurring in
each of the stages of the cell cycle and/or
phases of mitosis, including cytokinesis.
 Describe the process of meiosis,
including independent assortment and
crossing over.
 Differentiate the processes of mitosis and
meiosis and describe the role of mitosis
in asexual reproduction, and/or the role of
meiosis in sexual reproduction, including
how these processes may contribute to or
limit genetic variation.
 Relate the development of cancer
(uncontrolled growth) to mutations that
affect the proteins that regulate the cell
cycle.
Cell Cycle with Mitosis
Organisms grow by
creating more cells
through division. The cell
cycle is the process of a
cell growing, preparing
for division and dividing.
This process occurs in
two steps
1) Interphase: Growth
and preparation for
division
2) Cell Division: Division
of the cell
Cell Cycle with Mitosis
Guiding Questions:
What is the
difference between
haploid and diploid
cells.
What occurs during
each of the steps of
the cell cycle?

Cell Cycle with Meiosis
Meiosis is a second
type of cell division
that reduces the
number of
chromosomes in a
diploid cell by half
producing haploid
cells.
These haploid cells
are used for the
process of sexual
production

Cell Cycle with Meiosis
Guiding Questions:
What are the steps
of meiosis?

does a cell divide
during meiosis?
What is occurring
during crossing
over?

Mitosis vs Meiosis
-2 identical daughter
cells.
-Diploid cells
-1 division
-Asexual Reproduction
-Types of cell division
-Follow similar steps
(IPMATC)
-4 non-identical
daughter cells
-Haploid cells
-2 division
-Sexual Reproduction
Cancer
Mutations to the DNA in
a cell can lead to the
proteins that regulate
the cell cycle to lose
control.
This results in the
uncontrolled cell
division and the
formation of masses in
the body called tumors.
