Answer 2

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
