In order for organisms to grow, cells have two options: they must either replicate themselves to create more cells, or the cells themselves must expand in volume In

humans, tissues such as the skin and blood contain cells that are actively dividing, whilst other tissues such as fat contain cells that expand (good if you need energy

for winter, bad if you are trying to fit into some expensive jeans) Other cells, such

as neurons, will never divide again once they are terminally differentiated; they

are post-mitotic

In the process of replicating themselves, cells have another choice: do they want to make an identical copy and be left with two cells? Or do they want to make four

“half-copies”, in preparation for sexual reproduction, where their genetic content will be made whole again by the process of fertilisation? This choice is the choice

between mitosis and meiosis

Difference Between Mitosis and Meiosis

This article will explore the characteristics of both kinds of cell division, shining a light on how they are similar and in which aspects they are crucially distinct We will also explore the research into these processes and how cell division might go awry to cause disease states such as cancer and Down’s Syndrome

Mitosis vs Meiosis: Overview and commonly asked questions

What is the purpose of this process?

In a unicellular organism, the purpose of To create gametes with only one copy of

mitosis is to proliferate asa species In a

multicellular organism, the purpose can

be to grow during development, or

to repair or regenerate

adamaged tissue, for example

the organism’s genetic information, in

preparation for sexual reproduction.

Various steps in meiosis create

opportunity for genetic diversity in the

daughter cells This is the raw substrate for evolution

What is the outcome of this process?

Two diploid cells with identical genetic

information

with different genetic information.

Which organisms perform this process?

Mitosis is performed by unicellular and

multicellular eukaryotes.Bacteria have

their own version of mitosis

called “binary fission”.This is distinct

from meiosis as bacteria typically have

one circular chromosome,which is not

contained within a nucleus, like

eukaryotic chromosomes

Only organisms which perform sexual reproduction Archaeaand bacteria do

not do this, so it might be tempting to think that unicellularorganisms do not sexually reproduce However, there are exceptions; buddingyeast will form haploid spores under nutritional deprivation

How long does this process take?

Mitosis is usually shorter than meiosis

The process can take over 10 hours for

mammalian cells in culture [2], budding

yeast can take ~80 minutes to complete a

cell cycle [3], whilst bacteria can divide

every 20 minutes

Meiosis has various timescales in different organisms, which can be affected by several factors including temperature and environment of the organism, and the amount of nuclear DNA The process lasts 6 hours in yeast but can last more than 40 years in human females, due to a developmental hold at prophase I, until ovulation Other examples are 1-2 days in male fruit flies and ~ 24 days in human males [1]

What is an example of a disease caused by an error in this process?

Uncontrolled mitosis occurs in cancer,

where either genes that stop cell division

(tumour suppressors) are switched off,

or genes that encourage cell division

(oncogenes) are overactive.

Errors in meiosis can lead to the wrong number of chromosomes ending up in

germ cells, this is called aneuploidy.

This can trigger miscarriage, but is occasionally tolerated One example

is Down’s syndrome, caused by trisomy

21 Another example is Klinefelter syndrome, where XY males have an

additional X chromosome

Etymology?

Mitosis is the Greek word for thread,

after the thread-like chromosomes that

can be seen under the microscope in

dye-stained cells during cell division

Meiosis means a “lessening” in Greek.

This refers to the outcome of meiosis, where the genetic information in each new cell is halved

First described by?

Walther Flemming in his 1882 work

“Cell substance, nucleus and cell

division.” [5]

Oskar Hertwig described the fusion of egg and sperm in the transparent sea urchin egg in 1876 [4]

Setting the scene for mitosis vs meiosis

Cell division occurs as a part of the “cell cycle” Just like your day has a routine from day to night, cells have routines of their own The cell cycle is generally described as consisting of four main phases: G1, S phase, G2 and mitosis (or meiosis) Cells can also take a break from the grind of the cell cycle, in a state called G0 or senescence (note that some cells are permanently in G0) External growth factors can stimulate cells in G1 or G0 to proceed through the rest of the cycle, an example is Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), which promotes neuron growth The restriction point is a special “point of no return” in G1 when cells no longer respond to removal of growth factors and will continue to progress to S phase no matter what There are also internal signals that tell the cell to progress, these proteins are called cyclins and the cyclin that promotes mitosis is called cyclin B S phase is especially important as this is the point at which the cell’s entire genome is duplicated through the process of semi-conservative DNA replication

The stages of mitosis vs meiosis

The stages of mitosis are interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase, sometimes followed by cytokinesis “Interphase” is a blanket term which describes all the stages before mitosis, that is: G1, S and G2 phases The stages of meiosis are interphase, prophase I, metaphase I, anaphase I, telophase I, cytokinesis I, prophase II, metaphase II, anaphase II, telophase II, and finally cytokinesis II See our detailed explanation below:

Summary

a prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase and cytokinesis.

In meiosis, prophase, metaphase, anaphase

and telophase occur twice The first round

of division is special, but the second round

is more like mitosis

In mitosis, prophase, metaphase,

anaphase and telophase occur once.

Prophase

Chromosomes condense and the centrosomes begin to form an early spindle.

 Meiotic prophase I is much

longer that mitotic prophase.

 During prophase I homologous

chromosomes make contacts with

each other called chiasmata and

“crossing over” occurs This is where

chromosomes exchange sections of

DNA This is important for

generating genetic diversity but is

also crucial mechanically to hold

homologous chromosomes together

 Mitotic prophase is much shorter that meiotic prophase

I

 There is no crossing over in

mitosis

Metaphase

In metaphase II of meiosis, and metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up along

the metaphase plate due to the action of microtubule spindle fibres emanating from the centrosomes located at opposite cell poles These fibres are attached to the chromosomes by kinetochores at the centromeres of the chromosomes.

 In meiotic metaphase I pairs of

homologous chromosomes line up

along the metaphase plate

 The way in which the homologous

pairs are oriented randomly with

respect to the cell poles is referred to

as the law of independent

assortment and ensures a random

and independent distribution of

chromosomes to the daughter cells of

meiosis I and ultimately to the

haploid gametes at the end of meiosis

II

 In mitotic metaphase a single

chromosome/ pair of chromatids line up along the

metaphase plate

 Sister chromatids are identicaland so the orientation

of the chromosome doesn’t carry any meaning

Anaphase

In anaphase, chromosomes are split to opposite poles of the cell

 In anaphase of meiosis I cohesin at

the centromeres of the

chromosomes is not cleaved and it

therefore continues to hold sister

the homologous chromosomes are

segregated to opposite cell poles

 In anaphase of mitosis (and

meiosis II), cohesin protein

holding the centromeres of the sister chromatids together

is cleaved, allowing the sister chromatids to segregate to opposite poles of the cell, at

which point they are called chromosomes

Telophase

A nuclear membrane reforms around the newly separated chromosomes, which begin to uncoil, becoming less condense The spindle microtubules disassociate.

Each daughter cell will inherit one centrosome.

Cytokinesis

The cell plasma membrane pinches, to leave two daughter cells with separate

plasma membranes

 In meiosis, cytokinesis must occur

twice: once after telophase I and

again, after telophase II

 In mitosis, cytokinesis does not always occur, some cells divide and are multinucleate,

like muscle cells

Memory Tricks

Another way to understand the progression of mitosis and meiosis is by thinking about what is happeningto the chromosomes, centrosomes, nuclear membrane and cell plasma membrane at each stage of the process Here we show how to do this for mitosis, why not try to recreate this table for meiosis?

Mnemonics are also helpful, for example a useful mnemonic to remember the

order of the steps in mitosis is “I Prefer Mating At Teatime” – Chamillionaire.

Mitosis

Stage

Chromosomes

Interphase Are uncondensed but are still organised The entire genome is

replicated to create two identical semi-conserved copies of each chromosome

Prophase Condense Duplicated chromosomes are called sister chromatids

Metaphase Align along the metaphase plate, the midpoint between the two

centrosomes Sister chromatids are joined at the centromere by proteins that form a structure called a kinetochore

Anaphase Cohesin is cleaved at the centromere of chromosomes, resulting in

sister chromatids being pulled to opposite poles of the cell

Telophase Chromosomes begin to uncoil, becoming less condensed

Cytokinesis Chromosomes have returned to their interphase structure This is a

topic of much research, but it seems as though each chromosome occupies its own territory within the nucleus

Mitosis

Stage

Centrosomes

Interphase The centrosome is duplicated

Prophase Microtubules begin to form an early mitotic spindle between the

duplicated centrosomes

Metaphase The two centrosomes are now located at opposite poles of the cell.

Anaphase Microtubules emanating from the centrosomes shrink as the tension

holding the chromosomes at the metaphase plate is broken by cohesin cleavage

Telophase The centrosomes remain segregated to opposite sides of the cell

Each daughter cell will receive one centrosome comprised of two centrioles

Cytokinesis Centrosomes signal to the cell that it is okay to proceed with

cytokinesis Research shows that cells where centrosomes are destroyed with a laser beam cannot undergo cytokinesis

Active research questions

The process of cell division is an intricate dance of molecular machinery that has fascinated researchers for hundreds of years Advances in microscopy have had a huge impact on the field, from its humble beginnings observing metaphase chromosomes under the light microscope, to more sophisticated technologies today that can ask questions at the molecular level Research into the cell cycle has also been highly rewarded, with the 2001 Nobel Prize in Physiology/Medicine being awarded to Tim Hunt, Paul Nurse and Leland Hartwell for their joint discovery

of cyclins and cyclin-dependent kinases: the key regulators of the cell cycle [6].

However, despite our progress, many questions still remain

How do cells promote faithful chromosome segregation in mitosis?

While there is only one way for mitosis to go right, there are many ways for it to

go wrong For example, in early mitosis, if there are incorrect contacts between microtubules and chromosomes, chromosomes can become misaligned, which can lead to incorrect segregation of sister chromatids In late mitosis, how is the cell certain that the time is right to perform cytokinesis? The chromosome passenger complex (CPC) is a molecular guardian angel that acts at many stages of mitosis to safeguard the fidelity of the process At the start of mitosis, the CPC localises all over the chromosomes and acts to modify chromatin, during mitosis it moves to the chromosome centromeres to prevent incorrect microtubule attachments and

before cytokinesis the CPC finds its way to the central spindle Therefore, a question of ongoing research is how does the CPC elegantly re-localise throughout mitosis to save the day?

How are homologous chromosomes held together, and then separated in meiosis I?

You might remember from above that it is the protein cohesin that holds together

sister chromatids in metaphase of mitosis and metaphase II of meiosis However, in

meiosis I homologous chromosomes must be held together in metaphase I, before

these ties are swiftly broken during anaphase I This feat is performed by a

miraculous cellular zipper called the synaptonemal complex (SC) This zipper

must be strong enough to hold chromosomes together, but it must also be disassembled equally efficiently, otherwise homologous chromosomes will not

accurately segregate in anaphase I, leading to a potentially disastrous genetic inequality in the daughter cells How exactly this zipper disassembles is a hot

topic of research
