Mitosis Meiosis

• Mitosis


  1. For growth and repair

  2. 1 parent cell divides once to create 2 identical (genetically) daughter cells
• Meiosis is for production of the gametes (sex cells)
• Meiosis produces cells with half the normal DNA (23 parts)
• Fertilisation


  1. Zygote formed

  2. No pairs/half the DNA
• Seed formation


  1. Embryo

  2. Germination
• Meiosis


  1. Parent cell divides twice to create four genetically different/unique daughter cells

  2. Variation
• Cell cycle


  1. Interphase

  2. Cell doubles all organelles

  3. Cell enlarges

  4. DNA replicates
