Document Summary

Mitosis: responsible for tissue repair, growth/development, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis: produces gametes and is responsible for sexual reproduction. Binary fission: occurs in prokaryotes and is responsible for their division. Involves the replication of dna and the segregation of dna copies into two daughter cells. Prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) have no nucleus and instead contain circular dna. Starts with dna replication from parent cell"s dna. The cell elongates and replicated dna separates. At the end, 2 daughter cells are produced and are genetically identical to each other and parent. The nucleus in eukaryotes contains linear dna. Involves asexual reproduction, where one parent produces genetically identical offspring. Mitosis consists of interphase (g1, s, and g2 phases) , followed by m phase. Dna replication occurs during s phase and results in two genetically identical sister chromatids. During m phase, complete set of dna is given to two daughter cells. Involves sexual reproduction, where two individuals combine genetic information and produce genetically different offspring.
