Question

Mitosis and meiosis,Distinguish between them

Answer 1

Mitosis is a process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two producing a replica, with an equal number of chromosomes in each resulting diploid cell.

Meiosis is a type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through the separation of homologous chromosomes, producing two haploid cells.

Answer 2

Dear Student,

# Mitosis -

1. Genetically identical daughter cells are produced.
2. Occurs in somatic cells.
3. Involves only 1 division.
4. Also called diploid division.
5. Crossing over doesn't occur.
6. It is required for growth and repair of body

# Meiosis -

1. Genetically different daughter cells are produced.
2. Occurs in germ cells.
3. Involves 2 divisions.
4. Also called haploid division.
5. Crossing over occur.
6. It is involved in formation of gametes

Thanks dear. Hope this helps you..
