SCIENCE mitosis vs meiosis

• mitosis - is a process in which a cell nucleus divides into two nuclei, each of which contains the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. this process occurs on the body or somatic cells.
• meiosis - is a process where a single cell divides twice to produce for cells containing half the original amounts of genetic information. this cells are our sex cells — sperm in males, eggs in female.
• purpose of mitosis - create new cells. (faithful copies)
• purpose of meiosis - create new individuals (diversity)
• one - number of divisions after one chromatic replication event in MITOSIS
• two - number of divisions after one chromatic replication event in MEIOSIS
• individually - how chromosomes line up at metaphase in MITOSIS
• homologous pair in meiosis 1 and individually in meiosis 2 - how chromosomes line up at metaphase in meiosis
• two - number of daughter cells in MITOSIS
• four - number of daughter cells in MEIOSIS
• two ( diploid ) - homologous chromosomes in daughter cells in MITOSIS
• one ( haploid ) - homologous chromosomes in daughter cells in MEIOSIS
• in mitosis, the makeup of daughter cells is same as the parent cell
• in meiosis, the makeup of daughter cells is different from parent cell
• mitosis - involves in growth and development
• meiosis - involves in reproduction
• mitosis - produces genetically identical cells
• meiosis - produces genetically raried cells
