Comparison with mitosis

• How many cells does meiosis produce?

  Four cells
• What happens to the DNA during mitosis?

  DNA replicates

  2 identical copies
• What is the name of the process shown on the right side of the image?

  Meiosis
• What is the definition of mitosis?

  Mitosis is a type of cell division.
• What type of cells are produced in mitosis if the parent cell is diploid?

  The daughter cells will also be diploid
• How does meiosis differ from mitosis in terms of genetic makeup?

  Meiosis generates cells with different combinations
• What type of cells does meiosis create?

  Haploid cells with half the chromosomes
• What is the primary purpose of mitosis?

  To copy cells for growth and repair
• What is the relationship between meiosis and fertilization?

  Meiosis produces gametes that fuse during fertilization
• What is the significance of meiosis in genetics?

  • Creates gametes for sexual reproduction
  • Ensures genetic diversity through recombination
  • Reduces chromosome number by half
• What are the main functions of meiosis?

  • Genetic Diversity: Creates variation through crossing over and independent assortment
  • Chromosome Number Reduction: Halves chromosomes for correct offspring number
  • Sex Cell Production: Forms sperm and egg cells for reproduction
• How does mitosis contribute to asexual reproduction?

  It creates identical offspring from one parent
• In what way does mitosis assist in repair?

  It replaces old or damaged cells
• What is the primary purpose of meiosis?

  To create sex cells with half chromosomes
• What are the key characteristics of daughter cells produced in meiosis?

  • Four daughter cells produced
  • Each cell has half the chromosome number of the parent cell
  • Cells are genetically different from each other and the original cell
• How many daughter cells are produced in mitosis?

  Two daughter cells
• What are the key properties of mitosis regarding daughter cells?

  • Mitosis results in two daughter cells
  • Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell
  • Both daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
• How do the daughter cells produced by meiosis differ from those produced by mitosis?

  Meiosis produces different haploid cells
• What do daughter cells in mitosis contain in terms of chromosomes?

  Same number of chromosomes as the parent cell
• What type of cells does mitosis produce?

  Identical copies of the original parent cell
• What is the property of mitosis regarding the number of daughter cells?

  Two daughter cells
• What happens to the DNA during mitosis?

  DNA replicates
• What is the chromosome number of daughter cells in meiosis compared to the parent cell?

  Half of the parent cell
• How many daughter cells are produced in meiosis?

  Four daughter cells
• What is the name of the process shown on the left side of the image?

  Mitosis
• What is the genetic material of daughter cells in mitosis compared to the parent cell?

  Same genetic material
• If a parent cell undergoes mitosis, how many daughter cells will be produced?

  2
• What happens to the DNA during meiosis?

  DNA replicates
• What are the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis?

  • Mitosis: 2 genetically identical daughter cells
  • Meiosis: 4 genetically distinct daughter cells
• How does the DNA content change in mitosis vs. meiosis?

  • In mitosis, the DNA content is replicated but remains the same in the daughter cells
  • In meiosis, the DNA content is halved in the daughter cells
• If a parent cell undergoes meiosis, how many daughter cells will be produced?

  4
• How is identical DNA in daughter cells achieved during mitosis?

  Through precise DNA replication
• What is the genetic makeup of daughter cells produced by mitosis?

  Identical to the parent
• What is the name of the process shown on the left side of the image?

  Mitosis
• How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis and meiosis differ?

  • Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells
  • Meiosis produces 4 genetically distinct daughter cells
• How do the daughter cells produced by mitosis and meiosis differ?

  • Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells
  • Meiosis produces 4 genetically distinct daughter cells

  Equal chromosome separation
• What are the key differences between mitosis and meiosis?

  • Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical daughter cells
  • Meiosis produces 4 genetically distinct daughter cells
  • Mitosis is for growth and repair, meiosis is for sexual reproduction
• Why is genetic variation important in sexual reproduction and evolution?

  • Essential for sexual reproduction
  • Drives evolutionary processes
