write the differences between mitosis and meiosis
Answers
Answer:
Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
HOPE IT HELPS!!!
Explanation:
Mitosis Meiosis
Where it occurs Occurs in all organisms, except viruses Only occurs in animals, plants, and fungi
Cells it produces Creates body/somatic cells Creates germ/sex cells
Number of cell divisions One cell division ( 4 stages total) Two cell divisions (8 stages total)
Prophase length Prophase is short Prophase I is longer
Recombination/crossing over No recombination/crossing over in prophase Recombination/crossing over of chromosomes during prophase I
Metaphase During metaphase, individual chromosomes line up on cell’s equator During metaphase I, pairs of chromosomes line up on cell’s equator
Anaphase During anaphase, sister chromatids move to opposite ends of the cell During anaphase I, sister chromatids move together to the same cell pole. During anaphase II, sister chromatids are separated to opposite ends of the cell
Number of cells created End result: two daughter cells End result: four daughter cells
Ploidy Creates diploid daughter cells Creates haploid daughter cells
Genetics Daughter cells are genetically identical Daughter cells are genetically different
