1- Write a comparison of the stages of meiosis to the stages of mitosis. Which stages are unique to meiosis and which stages have the same events in both meiosis and mitosis?
2-On a piece of paper construct a Venn diagram to describe the similarities and differences between the cytokinesis mechanisms found in animal cells versus those in plant cells.
3- Nondisjunction is when chromosomes fail to separate properly during meiosis. Describe what would happen to the gamete chromosome number if the nondisjunction happened during Meiosis I. Describe what would happen to the gamete chromosome number if the nondisjunction happened during Meiosis II. Which would be a more serious issue and why?
Mitosis | Meiosis | |
Stages | prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, cytokinesis | prophase1 to cytokinesis 1, than prophase 2 to cytokinesis 2 |
Crossing over | no | yes, during prophase 1 |
Independent asortment | no | yes, during metaphase 1 |
