How does the number of chromosomes in the daughter cells of meiosis different from those in mitosis?

Biology

pashok25 [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

In meiosis, chromosome number in daughter cells is reduced by half while in mitosis the chromosome number doesn't change.

Explanation:

In mitosis there is a single cell division, while in meiosis there are 2 cell divisions.

In both cases the process start with the replication of DNA, so each chromosome has two sister chromatids.

  • In mitosis, the sister chromatids separate, resulting in two daughter cells identical to the original cell, before the DNA replicated.

  • In meiosis, homologous chromosomes separate during the first cell division, giving two daughter cells with half the chromosome number of the original cell, but each of them still has two chromatids. During the second cell division the chromatids separate, resulting in a total of four daughter cells, each with half the chromosomes than the original one.

What tissue your organs organized and separated from each other?

Organization of Cells
Biological organization exists at all levels in organisms. It can be seen at the smallest level, in the molecules that made up such things as DNA and proteins, to the largest level, in an organism such as a blue whale, the largest mammal on Earth. Similarly, single celled prokaryotes and eukaryotes show order in the way their cells are arranged. Single-celled organisms such as an amoeba are free-floating and independent-living. Their single-celled "bodies" are able to carry out all the processes of life, such as metabolism and respiration, without help from other cells. Some single-celled organisms, such as bacteria, can group together and form a biofilm. A biofilm is a large grouping of many bacteria that sticks to a surface and makes a protective coating over itself. Biofilms can show similarities to multicellular organisms. Division of labor is the process in which one group of cells does one job (such as making the "glue" that sticks the biofilm to the surface), while another group of cells does another job (such as taking in nutrients). Multicellular organisms carry out their life processes through division of labor. They have specialized cells that do specific jobs. However, biofilms are not considered multicellular organisms and are instead called colonial organisms. The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that individual organisms from a colony or biofilm can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular organism (e.g., liver cells) cannot.
