How do the cells in meiosis differ from the cells in mitosis

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]3 years ago

The purpose of mitosis is cell regeneration, growth, and asexual reproduction,while the purpose of meiosis is the production of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis is a single nuclear division that results in two nuclei that are usually partitioned into two new daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from a mitotic division are genetically identical to the original nucleus. They have the same number of sets of chromosomes, one set in the case of haploid cells and two sets in the case of diploid cells. In most plants and all animal species, it is typically diploid cells that undergo mitosis to form new diploid cells. In contrast, meiosis consists of two nuclear divisions resulting in four nuclei that are usually partitioned into four new haploid daughter cells. The nuclei resulting from meiosis are not genetically identical and they contain one chromosome set only. This is half the number of chromosome sets in the original cell, which is diploid.

Rama09 [41]

Answer:

He extracted and observed DNA from white blood cells.

Explanation:

Friedrich Miescher, who is a Swedish Botanist, is the scientist who isolated for the first time. In 1869, Miescher isolated a chemical he called NUCLEIN, which is called Nucleic acid now.

He discovered this so called "NUCLEIN" substance from the nuclei of white blood cells. Nucleic acids are the DNA and RNA we know today, hence, Miescher's discovery was significant to the genetic code as he even agitated for the inclusion of his discovery into inheritance.
