Differences and Similarities of meiosis and mitosis
mitosis
The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to their mothers.
Takes place in somatic cells/growth
Maintenance of chromosome number (diploid)
No crossing over/no variations
Results into 2 daughter cells
No pairing/no synapsis/no bivalent formed
A one division process of four stages
meiosis similarities with mitosis
Both take part in cells
Both involve division of ceels (cell multiplication)
takes place in the cell nuclei.
Both the processes occur in the M-phase of the cell cycle.
Are common – metaphase, anaphase, telophase and prophase.
meiosis
the goal of meiosis is to make daughter cells with exactly half as many chromosomes as the starting cell. different between them
Reduction/halving of chromosomes (haploid)
Occurs in reproductive cells/gonads/produces gametes
Crossing over takes place/variation occurs
Results into 4 daughter cells
There is paring/synapsis/bivalent
A two division process of four stages each
