  • What do mitosis and meiosis have?

    different outcomes
  • Describe one difference between the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis?
    Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells. Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells
  • Describe one difference between the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis?
    Mitosis produces cells with the same number of chromosomes as parent cell
    Meiosis produces cells with half number of chromosomes as parent cell
  • Describe one difference between the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis?
    MITOSIS- daughter cells genetically identical to each other + parent cell
    MEIOSIS- daughter cells genetically different from one another and the parent cell
  • Explain why the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis are different?
    Mitosis only involves one division- which separates the sister chromatids- and meiosis has 2 divisions - which separate the homologous pairs and then the sister chromatids
  • Explain why the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis are different?
    No pairing or separating of homologous chromosomes in mitosis, = no crossing over or independent segregation of chromosomes
    • This produces genetically identical daughter cells- unlike meiosis
