# Assignment 1 Solution

## Step 1: **Mitosis Illustration and Explanation**

### **Explanation**
- **Genotype:** The organism is diploid (**D₂D₂ E₃E₂**), meaning it has two homologous chromosomes for each gene.
- **Genes on Different Chromosomes:** D and E are on separate chromosomes, so they assort independently.
- **Mitosis Overview:** Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells. Each chromosome duplicates, forming sister chromatids, which are then separated.

### **Illustration Outline**  
#### **Before Mitosis (G2 phase)**
- **Chromosome pairs:**
  - Chromosome 1: D₂ | D₂ (each duplicated into sister chromatids)
  - Chromosome 2: E₃ | E₂ (each duplicated into sister chromatids)
- **Cell components:**
  - **Centrosomes:** Two, at opposite poles
  - **Microtubules:** Spindle fibers (kinetochore microtubules attach to centromeres; polar microtubules span pole-to-pole)

#### **During Metaphase**
- Chromosomes align at metaphase plate
- D₂ sister chromatids on each side, E₃ and E₂ aligned similarly

#### **During Anaphase**
- Sister chromatids are pulled apart by spindle fibers to opposite poles

#### **After Mitosis (Cytokinesis)**
- Each daughter cell gets:
  - D₂ | D₂
  - E₃ | E₂
- Both cells are genetically identical to parent

---

## Step 2: **Meiosis Illustration and Explanation**

### **Explanation**
- **Meiosis Overview:** Meiosis involves two divisions (Meiosis I and II) to produce four haploid gametes. Homologous chromosomes separate in Meiosis I; sister chromatids separate in Meiosis II.

### **Illustration Outline**
#### **Before Meiosis I (G2 phase)**
- Same as before mitosis: D₂ | D₂ (sister chromatids), E₃ | E₂ (sister chromatids)

#### **Meiosis I (Homologous Chromosomes Separate)**
- **Metaphase I:** Homologous pairs align at metaphase plate
  - One D₂ pairs with the other D₂
  - E₃ pairs with E₂
- **Anaphase I:** Homologous chromosomes move to opposite poles
  - One cell gets D₂ + E₃, the other gets D₂ + E₂

#### **Meiosis II (Sister Chromatids Separate)**
- Each cell divides again
- Sister chromatids are separated

#### **Final Gametes**
- Possible combinations:
  1. D₂, E₃
  2. D₂, E₂
  3. D₂, E₃
  4. D₂, E₂
- All gametes are haploid (one copy of each gene)

---

## **Final Answer:**

### **Mitosis produces two identical diploid cells** with the genotype **D₂D₂ E₃E₂** (each cell has both D₂ alleles, and both E₃ and E₂ alleles).

### **Meiosis produces four haploid gametes**, each with the genotype **D₂E₃** or **D₂E₂**.  
- All gametes have D₂ because the organism is homozygous for D₂.
- Gametes differ for the E gene (E₃ or E₂).

---

### **Diagram Key Components to Label**
- **Chromosomes and alleles:** D₂, E₃, E₂
- **Sister chromatids**
- **Centrosomes**
- **Microtubules:** Kinetochore and polar
- **Cell membrane**

*(If you need a hand-drawn or digital diagram, let me know—I can sketch how to arrange and label these components!)*
