Question

Explain the five difference between mitosis and meiosis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Mitosis

1. Daughter cells are diploid (n)
2. Daughter cells are genetically identical
3. No pairing of homologous during the process
4. 2 daughter cells formed at the end of the process
5. Only one nuclear division after the initial duplication of chromosomes

Meiosis

1. Daughter cells are haploid (2n)
2. Daughter cells are genetically unique
3. Homologous pair at the equator during meiosis 1 process and allows crossing over to occur
4. 4 daughter cells are formed at the end of the process
5. Two nuclear divisions after the initial duplication of chromosomes
