Question

Difference between meiosis and mitosis
class 9 chapter 5​

Answer 1

Answer:

Meiosis-

1. It is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divide to form 4 daughter cells.
2. the daughter cells formed have half the no. of chromosomes as are present in the parent cell.
3. Occurs during gamete formation / sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Mitosis -

1. It is a type of cell division in which a parent cell divide to form 2 daughter cells.
2. the daughter cells formed have same number and type of chromosomes as are present in the parent cell.
3. Helps in growth and development.

Answer 2

Answer:

Mitosis consists of one stage whereas meiosis consists of two stages. Mitosis produces diploid cells (46 chromosomes) whereas meiosis produces haploid cells (23 chromosomes). Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four genetically different daughter cells.

Mitosis involves the division of body cells, while meiosis involves the division of sex cells. The division of a cell occurs once in mitosis but twice in meiosis. Two daughter cells are produced after mitosis and cytoplasmic division, while four daughter cells are produced after meiosis.

Mitosis gives two nuclei, and hence two cells, while meiosis gives four. Mitosis gives identical cells to each other and to the mother cell, while meiosis leads to genetic variation due to crossing over and independent assortment. ... Mitosis includes one division , while meiosis includes two.
