Once a somatic cell enters S-phase,

it must undergo mitotic division.

Do you agree with the above statement?

Why or why not?

Hint: Genome duplication

If a somatic cell has entered S-phase, its mitotic
division is inevitable because in S-phase the
whole set of genome of the cell is duplicated.
This is done so that equal number of
chromosomes can be divided between the
daughter cells and to ensure that they are exact
copies of their parent cell.
If mitosis does not take place after S-phase, the
cell will comprise of 4 sets of chromosomes that
will hamper its normal functioning.
Meiosis is also known as reduction
division.

Is anything reduced in meiosis?

Hint: Haploid daughter cells

Meiosis is also known as reduction division
because the number of chromosomes in the
daughter cells obtained is exactly half of the
parent cell.
Germ cell in which meiosis takes place initially
possesses 2 sets of chromosomes which are
duplicated during S-phase to form 4 sets.
After meiosis, four daughter cells are yielded
each containing a single set of chromosomes,
that indicates reduction in number of
chromosomes as compared to their parent cell.
Mitotic division is a somatic division in which
a parent cell divides into two identical
daughter cells, each of which contains the
same number and kind of chromosomes as
are present in parent cell.

Can you guess, how

many mitotic divisions
occur in a cell to
produce 256 daughter
cells assuming they all
divide at the same time
and none dies?

Hint: Equational Division

Mitotic division is an equational division in
which each cell divides to produce two
daughter cells.
One cell divides to produce two daughter
cells, two cells divide to produce four
daughter cells, four cells divide to produce
eight daughter cells and so on.
In this way, eight mitotic divisions must
occur in a cell in order to produce 256
daughter cells.

Can you guess,
Ashley is
confused
between which
two stages of
mitosis and how?

Hint: Possess contrastingly opposite events

Ashley is confused between prophase and
telophase (also called reverse prophase) of
mitosis.
In prophase, metabolism of cell decreases.
Whereas, in telophase metabolism of cell
increases.
In prophase, nuclear membrane starts
disappearing and nucleolus degenerates.
Whereas, in telophase, nuclear membrane
and nucleolus reappears.
In prophase, chromosomes are fully
condensed. Whereas, in telophase,
chromosomes decondense to form
chromatin net.
In prophase, other cell organelles like
golgi complex and endoplasmic reticulum
disappear. Whereas, in telophase, other
cell organelles like golgi complex and
endoplasmic reticulum reappear.
In this way, the two stages are exactly
opposite of one another.
 In meiosis, the parent cell divides
twice while chromosome only once.

validity of

statement.

Hint: Progeny resulting from meiosis

Meiotic division results in the formation of four
daughter cells each having a single copy of the
parental genome.
During meiosis, karyokinesis occurs only in
meiosis-I, followed by cytokinesis, but in meiosis-
II karyokinesis does not occur while cytokinesis
occurs yielding four daughter cells in total.
Moreover, the parent cell after S-phase
possesses 4 sets of chromosomes while the
daughter cells possess only one set, which
indicates that second division did not take place
after chromosomal duplication.
