Cell+Cycle,+Mitosis,+Meiosis

** What is the relationship between the cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis? **

Cell Cycle: The normal growth cycle and separation a cell goes through. Mitosis: The stage when cells divide into two new nuclei. Meiosis: The process when chromosomes are reduced half to form sex cells. In this process, the cells duplicates themselves which it produces sex cells. The relationship between cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis is that they all have something to do with the growth of cells. All three of them start out with interphase. 

** What is the cell cycle and meiosis used for? **

They are used to create/duplicate themselves into more copies of themselves. The Cell Cycle is the normal cycle that cells grow in, and meiosis is the process when sex cells are produced. 


 * What is similar about the cell cycle and meiosis? **

The Cell Cycle and Meiosis is similar because they duplicate cells.

The Cell Cycle and Meiosis is different because the cell cycle produces somatic cells, but meiosis produces gametes which are sex cells.
 * What is different about the cell cycle and meiosis?**

**Mitosis vs. Meiosis Video** <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">This is a clear video of the similarities and differences of mitosis and meiosis. You can have a better understanding of what is mitosis and meiosis and at the same time, get to know the similarities and differences of mitosis and meiosis. It gives a clear T Chart and also good pictures. Enjoy. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14px;">media type="youtube" key="_IzfJSxa-uA" height="315" width="420" URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_IzfJSxa-uA&feature=related

This video is a lot longer then the first one and is a lot more complex. It has some hard facts but the main idea of the video is clear. This video is striking on the definitions more then the similarities and differences. You would understand the purpose of The Cell Cycle, Mitosis, and Meiosis through this video. media type="youtube" key="2aVnN4RePyI" height="315" width="420" URL: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2aVnN4RePyI
