normal cell has 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 chromatids)\nbefore mitotic division the number doubles to 46 pairs (92 chromatids) the chromosomes are arranged as sister chromatids joined by the centromere and aligned with their copies (this is where recombination events can take place). the pairs are then pulled apart and separated in to the two new cells (each with 23 pairs). \n\nNote: for meiotic division (production of gametes (sperm and egg)) 23 pairs of chromosomes are divided in to 2 lots of 23 single chromosomes.

We normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes, that is, 46 chromosomes in total. When they're seen inside of a cell nucleus, they just look like similar V , X and Y shaped little dark spots, but the specialists are able to order them and know which ones belong to each pair (i.e. are homologous). They've labeled the pairs from 1 to 23 (the 23rd pair is the XX or XY sex chromosomes). \nIn Down syndrome, there is an extra chromosome. If you just looked at an image of the nucleus, you'd just count 47 chromosomes. But it has been determined that the "extra" one is a duplicate of one of the members of pair 21. \nIn the case of other duplicate chromosomes, the effects are not Down syndrome. Most cases of chromosomal duplication are lethal.

Let's assume you want a human example.\nHuman cells have 46 chromosomes.\n\nIn Meiosis 1:\nProphase 1- chromosomes replicate, join with homologous pairs to become tetrads.\n--46 chromosomes paired, 23 tetrads, and 92 chromatids\nMetaphase 1- same numbers as prophase\nAnaphase 1: 46 chromosomes (double stranded), 92 chromatids\nTelophase 1: end: 23 chromosomes (double stranded), 46 chromatids per cell\n\nProphase 2: same as Telophase 1\nMetaphase 2: same as Telophase 1\nAnaphase 2: 46 chromosomes, zero chromatids\nTelophase 2: end: 23 chromosomes per cell.

it is NOT in mitosis!!!!\nmitosis happens AFTER G2\ncytokinesis is on of the final stages of mitosis!\n\neverything else is right :)

G1 - chromatin\nS - chromosomes\nG2 - chromatin\nMitosis - chromosomes (the chromosomes become less condensed in telophase though)\nCytokinesis - chromatin\n\nDuring all three subphases, the cell grows by producing protiens and cytoplasmic organelles such as mitochondria and endoplasmic reticulum.  However, chromosomes are duplicated only during the S phase.  Thus, a cell grows (G1), continues to grow as it copies its chromosomes (S), grows more as it completes preparations for cell division (G2), and divides (M).  I'm guessing cell growth is fastest in G1 but im not sure, so dont quote me.\nHope I helped =)

Copied from website...\n\nMitosis is responsible for growth and development, as well as for replacing injured or worn out cells throughout your body. For simplicity, we have illustrated cells with only six chromosomes.\nClick for larger image\nInterphase : Chromosomes duplicate, and the copies remain attached to each other. \nProphase : In the nucleus, chromosomes condense and become visible. In the cytoplasm, the spindle forms. \nPrometaphase : The nuclear membrane breaks apart, and the spindle starts to interact with the chromosomes. \nMetaphase : The copied chromosomes align in the middle of the spindle. \nAnaphase : Chromosomes separate into two genetically identical groups and move to opposite ends of the spindle. \nTelophase : Nuclear membranes form around each of the two sets of chromosomes, the chromosomes begin to spread out, and the spindle begins to break down. \nCytokinesis : The cell splits into two daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent. In humans, such cells have two copies of 23 chromosomes and are called diploid.

i did this, i used a ball of styrofome( er however you spell that) for the whole cell, and a smaller ball for the nucleus. then i just found a buncha little things for everything else. i used toothpicks with little tags on the end to label the parts

Mitosis is a continuous process by which the body grows and dead body cells are replaced, in this type of cell division each "daughter cell " contains  the exact number of chromosomes as the "parent cell" 46 also called the diploid number. The process of mitosis  in sperm is called spermatogenesis  and in the ovum , called oogenesis.\nMeiosis is a different type of cell division where reproductive cells undergo 2 sequential divisions. During meiosis the number of chromosomes is reduced to half, 23 chromosomes also called the haploid number. At the moment of fertilization (when the sperm and ovum unite) the new cell contains 23 chromosomes from the sperm and 23 chromosomes from the ova returning to the diploid number of 46 and both the mothers and fathers traits are inherited by the gamete

Human beings have an estimated 100 trillion or 10^14 cells; a typical cell size is 10 µm, a typical cell mass 1 nanogram.\nIf we take the latter number, then a adult of 80 kg has 8x10^13 cells, a teenager of 40 kg half as much.

This may seem like a silly suggestion, but try representing the elements mentioned in your textbook (which I'm sure has some illustrations) with pieces of paper, matches, beans or something like that, so you can understand the events and the outcome. \nNow, if you _really_ want an explanation, here it comes (I've ommited the names of the phases, they'll be in your textbook).\n\nMeiosis includes 2 cell divisions with different characteristics. \nWe start with a diploid (2 n) cell, in which DNA duplication has occurred so that each DNA strand is double. These strands do not yet appear as chromosomes (condensed bodies); in fact, the chromatin strands have to be "relaxed" in order to duplicate. \n\n***Meiosis I: (in which the nº of chromosomes decreases to half)\n1. The chromatin (DNA strands) starts to condense and appears as small dense dots (the chromosomes) within the cell nucleus. These chromosomes will each have 2 "arms" (they look like an X or a V) because the DNA in each has been duplicated.\n2. Now all these chromosomes align in homologous pairs, with the aid of a transparent structure formed by tiny intracellular fibers (the spindle) that has formed and will help them to move in orderly fashion within the nucleus.\n3. While they keep condensing, each homologous chromosome contacts its "brother", and they exchange some fragments of their DNA ("crossing over"). Usually only one "arm" of each  chromosome participates in crossing over. \n4. In the meantime, the nuclear membrane is disintegrating...\n5. The pairs of homologues, still united, align at the middle (equator) of the spindle... \n6... and then each pair of homologues is divided, one chromosome of each pair goes toward each "pole" of the spindle. \n7. New nuclear membranes form around the 2 groups of chromosomes. Each of these groups will only have ONE of each pair of homologues. Essentially the information in each new nucleus is the same, BUT has some differences because, as you recall, there has been crossing over i.e. partial exchange of DNA between homologues. \n8. The original cell with the 2 nuclei divides and forms 2 cells, with half the nº of chromosomes of the original cell (haploid or n). Each of the chromosomes still has a duplicate DNA strand.\n\n... the cell takes a short break (you can take a break too!)... but the chromatin does not duplicate this time (it's already done that)\n\n***Meiosis II: (in which each double DNA strand becomes single again, this phase is similar to a normal mitosis).\n1. The chromatin condenses again, so that it appears as chromosomes.\n2. This time the spindle aligns the center of each chromosome at its equator.\n3. The central part of the chromosome is duplicated and the sister "arms" (chromatids) separate, each migrating to opposite poles.\n4. Now you have two groups of chromosomes, each group still has the haploid (n) nº of chromosomes (the same amount with which they started this 2nd meiosis) but now, each chromosome has a single DNA strand. \nA new nuclear membrane forms around each of these groups of chromosomes.\n5. The rest of the cell divides.\n\nSo, to sum up: you started with ONE diploid cell. You end with FOUR haploid cells. In animals, this process only happens during the production of gametes. \nIf we're talking about the formation of female gametes, then only ONE of the 4 resulting cells will become an ovule (and that only after more maturation), the other 3 cells form "polar bodies".\nIn contrast, when it's spermatozoids being produced, all FOUR resulting cells will become spermatozoids. \nThat's one of the reasons sperm is cheaper than ovules! There's just more of them in the entire animal kingdom.\n\nNow, what is the purpose of this extremely complicated (the above is a very simplified version) process? The result will be cells that have half the chromosomes of the normal body cells. These cells

(for animal cells..)\n1. non-kinetochore microtubules lengthen. this elongates the cell even more than before.\n2. pairs of sister chromosomes attach at opposite ends of the cell.\n3. new nuclear envelopes form around the two sets of dna at the opposite ends of the cell.\n4. cytokinesis (division of cytoplasm) occurs and the plasma membrane re-forms around the two daughter cells.
