In mitosis, no bivalents are formed due to no crossing over of genetic material between chromatids, unlike meiosis where bivalents are formed during Chiasma
In Meiosis a bivalents are formed during the first stage of meiosis which is the prophase. The bivalent consist of a paired chromosome and four chromatids i.e two chromosomes in a tetrad. one chromosome comes from each parent.
In mitosis, a bivalent is not formed. There is the presence of chromatids, homologs, centromeres and spindles during mitosis and meiosis.
A stretch of DNA that code for specific proteins is said to be a gene. A gene is transcribed into mRNA. The mRNA has a nucleotide sequence complementary to the corresponding gene. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes during the process of protein synthesis to specify the amino acid sequence of proteins. Therefore, genes carry the genetic information for the assembly of proteins and the processes of transcription and translation deliver the stored genetic information.
Responding to the environment by maintaining a stable internal environment despite changing external conditions is characteristic of living things. The maintain of stable internal environment called homeostasis. Other characteristics of living things are: the possibility to produce, one or more cells, the possibility to grow and develop...
