Question

Which process takes place in meiosis but not in mitosis

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is DNA replication and crossing over.

Explanation:

Both meiosis and mitosis are reproduction processes taking place in humans. But there is some difference between these two processes. In meiosis, parent cell produces four daughter cells which are not identical to each other.

In meiosis, when DNA replicates it produces four haploid daughter cells in which the number of chromosomes in half. Moreover crossing over and separation of chromosomes also occurs to produce sperms and egg cells. While in mitosis crossing over and DNA replication is absent.
