Question

what are the difference between mitosis and meiosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

In mitosis, the genetic material (DNA) in a cell is duplicated and divided equally between two cells. The dividing cell goes through an ordered series of events called the cell cycle. The mitotic cell cycle is initiated by the presence of certain growth factors or other signals that indicate that the production of new cells is needed. Somatic cells of the body replicate by mitosis. Examples of somatic cells include fat cells, blood cells, skin cells, or any body cell that is not a sex cell. Mitosis is necessary to replace dead cells, damaged cells, or cells that have short life spans.

Meiosis is the process by which gametes (sex cells) are generated in organisms that reproduce sexually. Gametes are produced in male and female gonads and contain one-half the number of chromosomes as the original cell. New gene combinations are introduced in a population through the genetic recombination that occurs during meiosis. Thus, unlike the two genetically identical cells produced in mitosis, the meiotic cell cycle produces four cells that are genetically different.

Answer 2

Answer:

MITOSIS

• Occurs in body cells.
• divides once.
• creates two cells.
• are genetically identical.

MEIOSIS

• occurs in gametes cells.
• divides twice (meiosis | &||).
• creates four cells.
• Are not genetically identical.
• increases genetic diversity.

IN BOTH

1. creation of new cells.
2. DNA replicates once.
