Question

The main differences between mitosis and meiosis?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Mitosis

• Involves one cell division
• Results in two daughter cells
• Results in diploid daughter cells (chromosome number remains the same as parent cell)
• Daughter cells are genetically identical.

Meiosis

• Involves two successive cell divisions
• Results in four daughter cells
• Results in haploid daughter cells (chromosome number is halved from the parent cell)
• Daughter cells are genetically different

Answer 2

In mitosis no. of chromosomes remain same and daughter cells are alike parents cells...while in meiosis the no. of chromosomes are reduced to half and daughter cells are different from parents...

In meiosis gamete producing steps take place unlike mitosis
