Welcome to Dr. Kate Brilakis' Learning Portal
sperm production =
spermatogenesis
2 forms of eukaryotic cell division:
Mitosis and Meiosis
sperm production =
spermatogenesis
review question:
list the major happenings that occur during mitosis
Mitosis in plant cells
mitosis occurs for:
= Meiosis
female:
one egg
produced
egg production
= oogenesis
extra credit question:
synapsis (crossing over) occurs during meiosis. What is the purpose of this process?
synapsis/crossing over occur only during meiosis
egg production =
oogenesis
below is FYI...
review question:
how are the products of mitosis different than the products of meiosis
Mitosis in animal cells
extra credit:
explain how and why the products of spermatogenesis differ from the products of oogensis.
this is a karyotype of a human's chromosomes.
human have 46 chromosomes
in their somatic (non-sex) cells
represented as 23 pairs of chromosomes.
1/2 of each pair is originally donated by the father's sperm.
1/2 of each pair is originally donated by the mother's egg.
fusion of the two creates a zygote which via mitosis may grow into a human.
Mitosis = somatic cell division
growth/repair/maintenance
review question:
explain how cytokinesis in plant cells is similar to binary fission in bacteria.
<- cytokinesis
Meiosis =
gamete production
male:
four sperm
produced
= Mitosis
