Question

how will you differentiate between mitosis and meiosis on the basis of the chromosome number in the daughter cells?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

During anaphase 2 ‚ chromatids move to opposite poles to . For mitosis ‚ daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as your the parent cell..... For mitosis daughter cell are genetically identical to parent cell ‚ while for meiosis daughter cells are genetically different from the daughter cell.
