Meiosis and Mitosis

• Mitosis

  1. DNA replicated to form 2 copies of each chromosome. Cell grows.
  2. One set of chromosomes pulled to each end of the cell. Nucleus divides
  3. Cytoplasm + Cell membrane divide. 2 identical cells are formed
• meiosis

  1. all chromosomes are copied
  2. cell divides into 2
  3. cells divide once more forming gametes. chromosomes are single in gametes not paired.
