Question

Salient feature of meiosis and mitosis

Answer 1

Answer:

It results in the formation of four daughter cells in each cycle of cell division.

The daughter cells are identical to the mother cell in shape and size but different in chromosome number.

The daughter cells are haploid.

Recombination and segregation take place in meiosis.

The process occurs in the reproductive organs and results in the formation of gametes.

The process is divided into two types-Meiosis-I reduces the chromosome number to half and is known as reductional division. Meiosis-II is just like the mitotic division.
