mitosis vs meiosis

• Meiosis is the process by which sex cells (gametes) are produced, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
• The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that mitosis produces diploid daughter cells while meiosis produces haploid daughter cells.
• Mitosis produces two diploid daughter cells that have an identical set of chromosomes to the original parent cell.
• Mitosis is the process by which cells divide to produce two genetically identical daughter cells.
• The stages of mitosis include prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis.
• Prophase involves condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, formation of spindle fibers, and attachment of chromatids to spindle fibers at kinetochores.
• Mitosis occurs during growth and repair processes, while meiosis occurs to produce gametes.
• In mitosis, there is one round of division, while in meiosis, there are two rounds of division.
• Meiosis produces four haploid daughter cells that contain only one copy of each chromosome from the original parent cell.
• Meiosis involves two rounds of division, producing four haploid daughter cells.
• Prophase involves condensation of chromatin into visible chromosomes, formation of spindle fibers, and separation of centrosomes.
• Anaphase involves separation of sister chromatids and movement towards opposite poles of the cell.
• Telophase involves decondensation of chromosomes, nuclear envelope reforming around sets of chromosomes, and completion of cytokinesis.
