Question

Describe the difference between mitosis and meiosis. Include one way that they are alike and one way that they are different.

Answer 1

Both mitosis and meiosis are associated with cytokineses. Mitosis is the same as meiosis if Mitosis happens twice.
Both processes include breaking down the nuclear membrane.
They differ because Meiosis has two rounds of genetic separation and cellular division while mitosis only has one of each. In Meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate leading to daughter cells that aren't genetically identical. In Mitosis, the daughter cells are identical to the parent as well as each other.  <span />
