We have an assignment at school where we have to investigate the periodic motion of a mass on a spring. The first task is the model a displacement vs time of the mass on spring but I know how to do that because we are using Datalogger.
Two divisions, and , are required to produce gametes (Figure 3). Meiosis I is a unique that occurs only in germ cells; meiosis II is similar to a mitotic division. Before germ cells enter meiosis, they are generally , meaning that they have two copies of each chromosome.
Comparing Meiosis and Mitosis: Meiosis and mitosis are both preceded by one round of DNA replication; however, meiosis includes two nuclear divisions. The four daughter cells resulting from meiosis are haploid and genetically distinct. The daughter cells resulting from mitosis are diploid and identical to the parent cell. The main differences between mitosis and meiosis occur in meiosis I. In meiosis I, the homologous chromosome pairs become associated with each other and are bound together with the synaptonemal complex.
