Answer:

Mitosis produces two genetically identical cells, while meiosis produces four genetically different cells.

Explanation:

Mitosis and Meiosis are both kinds of cellular division that occurs in all living cells, however, they are used for different purposes. Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. They are identical in the sense that they contain same alleles of the same genes as the parent cells. It is usually used for growth, repair or REPRODUCTION in asexually-reproducing organisms.

On the other hand, meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with each having a reduced number of chromosomes as the parent cell (by half). It is employed by only sexually reproducing organisms to produce gametes. Meiosis occurs in a two-step division process resulting in 4 daughter cells. Meiosis increases genetic variation among species by producing gametes that are genetically different from the parent cell. This is achieved by a process called CROSSING-OVER, peculiar to meiosis, where chromosome segments are exchanged between homologous chromosomes (non-sister chromatids).

Describe how biogeographical studies, esp. of islands and continents, explain species similarities and differences
Elan Coil [88]
Biogeographical studies use information for various fields, such as evolutionary biology, geography, geology, and climate science to determine how organisms evolved through time and how the moving of tectonic plates resulting in forming continents, mountain ranges and islands has affected their distribution.
Studies in this field explain how organisms that now live on different continents are very closely related and how the flora and fauna of islands are connected to one of the closest continents etc.
