Meiosis is the type of cell division for the production of gametes in sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a type of cell division for somatic cells and for the asexual reproduction of unicellular eukaryotic cells. These studies illuminate that meiosis is strategically designed to fulfill two missions: faithful segregation of genetic materials and production of genetic diversity in descendants through elaboration by meiosis-specific factors in collaboration with general factors.Įukaryotic cells undergo two styles of cell division. Here we focus on lessons from recent advancement in genetical and cytological studies of the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, revealing how chromosomes, cytoskeleton, and cell cycle progression are organized and particularly how these are differentiated in mitosis and meiosis. Recently, evidence began to accumulate to draw a perspective landscape showing that chromosomes and microtubules are mutually influenced: microtubules regulate chromosomes, whereas chromosomes also regulate microtubule behaviors. Yeast substantially contributed to the understanding of the molecular mechanisms of meiosis in the past decades. A huge number of studies to date have demonstrated how chromosomes behave and how meiotic events are controlled. Meiosis is a specialized style of cell division conserved in eukaryotes, particularly designed for the production of gametes. 5Major in Bioscience, Global Center for Science and Engineering, Faculty of Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.4Waseda Institute for Advanced Study, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.3Institute for Medical-Oriented Structural Biology, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.2Institute for Advanced Research of Biosystem Dynamics, Waseda Research Institute for Science and Engineering, Graduate School of Advanced Science and Engineering, Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.1Laboratory of Cytoskeletal Logistics, Center for Advanced Biomedical Sciences (TWIns), Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan.Well-rendered visuals that enhances product & aids understanding.Masamitsu Sato 1,2,3* Yasutaka Kakui 1,4 Mika Toya 1,2,5 _ visible and correct phase abbreviation on each page.25 pages = 5 per phase (PMAT + cytokinesis) _ spindle fibers appear / location / disappearĮxemplary, neat, well planned format that enhances product._ centrioles appear / location / disappear._ (2) chromosomes appear / location / disappear.AttributeĪccurate, complete, extensive information. Your own computer-generated images or templates are acceptable, but check with the instructor.

Each stage will have at least five pages. Illustrate the four phases of mitosis AND include cytokinesis. A flip book is a way to do a cartoon animation showing gradual change on each page. You will create a flip book to illustrate the stages of cell mitosis (not the cell cycle nor meiosis).
