1. List one way mitosis and meiosis are the same and one way they are different.

Answer 1

1. They both are same in the process, I mean they both are types of cell division they both form and give rise to new cells from the existing ones
difference would be in their division a mitotic cell gives rise to 2 cells where as a meiotic cell gives rise to 4.
2. the advantage of sexual reproduction is that , it produces genetic variation, disadvantage is it's a very slow process and takes lot of time
3. the advantage is that ,it's a very rapid process as it doesn't involve complex interactions. of genes and chromosomal recombination, the disadvantage would be is that they don't produce variation which can have adverse affect on their survival, even due to slightest change in the environment
4. Undergoing both the type of cell division is good as in human mitotic division is meant for growth and development whereas meiotic divisions are necessary and important for gametes formation and for raising new generation
