Mitosis is the process by  which your cells make copies of themselves before they die. Therefore, the new cells end with the same number of chromosomes as the original cell. one cell beginning= 12 chromosomes; two cell ending= 12 chromosomes each. (2N)

Meiosis is the process by which your cells make sex cells (gametes- sperm or egg) cells. Because you will get the other half of the sex cells from your mate, each cell ends with half the number of chromosomes. one cell beginning= 12 chromosomes; four cells ending= 6 chromosomes each. Half the number of chromosomes (1N)

N= the number of sets of chromosomes

When Mitosis occurs it is allowing more cells to be made with only the one organisms Chromosomes, meaning that you can have the full 23 pairs of chromosomes. However in the case of Meiosis, the data for the new cells have to be taken from more than one cells saved DNA so it will mix with the reproductive cells of the opposite sex.

1. How does the principle of conservation of mass relate to chemical reactions?
frosja888 [35]

1. According to the law of conservation of mass, in an isolated system, mass is neither created nor destructed by the physical conversions or chemical reactions. It is on the basis of the law of conservation of mass that in a chemical reaction, the mass of the products must be equivalent to the mass of the reactants.  

2. A chemical equation tells us about the phenomenon of conservation of mass, that is, atoms are neither created nor destroyed at the time of a chemical reaction. A balanced chemical equation tells us that which substances are the products and what substances are the reactants, and what proportion of each substance are taking part, as well as their association with each other, and the steps that take place at the time of a reaction.
