Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.
In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
Mitosis produces cells with 46 chromosomes while meiosis produces cells with only half the chromosomes, 23.
mitosis
the amount of chromosomes in a cell. meiosis is used in sexual reproduction and mitosis is just making more cells. chromosomes in a human after meiosis=24; mitosis=48.
mitosis
mitosis involves 1 division while meiosis involves 2
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
