Mitosis and Meiosis
PURPOSE
MITOSIS
To make daughter cells that are genetically identical
MEIOSIS
To produce sex cells
Produce cells that are genetically different
PRODUCES HOW MANY CELLS
MEIOSIS
Four gametes
MITOSIS
Two genetically identical daughter cells
TAKES PLACE
MEIOSIS
In the reproductive organs (ovaries and testes)
MITOSIS
In all cells apart from gametes
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE NUMBER OF CHROMOSOMES
MITOSIS
Same number as in the parent cell
Diploid=46 in pars
MEIOSIS
Half as many in parent cell
Haploid=23 (single)
HOW DO PARENT AND DAUGHTER CELLS DIFFER GENETICALLY
MITOSIS
Not at all- Genetic material is copped EXACTLY
MEIOSIS
Contains a mixture of chromosomes from two-parent gametes-so can not be identical
