Expert Solution

Comparing nuclear and chromosomal activities in mitosis and meiosis:

	Mitosis	Meiosis
Synapsis	does not occur.	Occurs during prophase-1.
Crossing over	does not occur.	Occurs during prophase-1.
When centromeres seperate	Occurs during anaphase.	Occurs during anaphase-2.
Chromosome structure and movement during anaphase	V-shaped and move towards poles.	Breakdown of chiasmata and move towards poles.
Number of divisions	No division in number of chromosomes.	Division of chromosomes in anaphase-1.
Number of chromosomes in daughter cells	No reduction in chromosomal number.	Reduced to half.
Genetic similarity of daughter cells to parent cells	Genetically similar to parents.	Genetically dissimilar to parents.

To simulate Prophase of Meiosis I - Synapsis and Crossing Over: 1. Homologous chromosomes come together and synapse along their entire length. This pairing (synapsis) of homologous chromosomes represents the first big difference between mitosis and meiosis. This pairing will produce two tetrads, each consisting of four chromatids. Entwine the two chromosomes to simulate synapsis. 2. To simulate crossing over, start with your long tetrad and transfer the circles on the red chromatid at the fourth bead or “gene” to...

Mitosis and Meiosis True/ False: True or false? 1. The centromeres of metacentric chromosomes are located toward one end of the chromosome. 2. The attachment point on the chromosome for spindle microtubules is on the Telomere. 3. In the metaphase of mitosis, the number of chromosomes per cell is doubled compared to the interphase cell. 4. Mitosis occurs in somatic (nonsex) cells; Meiosis occurs in sex cells to produce gametes. 5. Cells with half the total chromosome number are called...

which of the following are differences between mitosis and meiosis 1? Choose all that apply A)Crossing over occurs during meiosis 1 but not mitosis B)DNA replication takes place prior to mitosis but not before meiosis C)Sister chromatids separate in mitosis and homologs (homologous chromosomes) separate in meiosis 1 D)Only meiosis 1 results in daughter cells that contain identical genetic information E)Miosis 1 results in two daughter cells, while mitosis results in four daughter cells
