No. In mitosis the chromosomes separate once. In meiosis, in anaphase I, homologous chromosomes separate, but are still attached as sister chromatids. In anaphase II, the sister chromatids separate. So there are two chromosome separations in meiosis.
centrioles pull them apart during mitosis. this later leads to the production of new cells.
most believe this is the most important step of mitosis.
no
Meiosis and Mitosis are both the division of something. Meiosis is the division of chromosomes and Mitosis is the division of cells. They both occur in the cell cycle. Meiosis creates 4 daughter cells and Mitosis creates two complete cells.
both. mitosis is for skin and meiosis is for reproduction
when the sperm cell has half the amount of chromosomes in the egg cell of a female is considered mitotic cell division
Nondisjunction is the failure of homologous chromosomes or chromatids to segregate during mitosis or meisos with the result that one daughter cell has both of a pair of parental chromosomes or chromatids and the other has none. An example is Trisomy 21, which is also called Down's Syndrome. This person has 3 chromosome #21.Nondisjunction of genes occur during meiosis I when homologous chromosomes fail to separate or during meiosis II when there is unequal distribution of chromosomes. This leads to aneuploidy.
Differences: # Cells undergoing mitosis divide once, cells undergoing meiosis divide twice. # Mitosis is for cell replication, meiosis is for genetic recombination and to produce reproductive cells # Meiosis does not produce exact copies, mitosis does # Crossing over occurs in meiosis # Mitosis produces diploid cells, meiosis produces haploid Similarities: # Both duplicate the organism's genome once, before any duplication occurs # Metaphase plates occur in both # Centrioles exist in both # They share the same basic steps for division # Both occur in eukaryotic cells
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
Meiosis and Mitosis are both the division of something. Meiosis is the division of chromosomes and Mitosis is the division of cells. They both occur in the cell cycle. Meiosis creates 4 daughter cells and Mitosis creates two complete cells.
Both autosomes and sex chromosomes separate during mitosis./ Somatic chromosomes separate during mitosis with same number as in the parent cell.
meiosis is where sex cells are made -there are 8 steps in meiosis mitosis is where the nucleus divides -there are 4 steps in mitosis they both make chromosomes
In anaphase for both types of cell division, the centromeres of each chromosome separates and the spindle fibers pull apart the sister chromosomes. In mitosis, this is the shortest phase of cell division.However, the differences between mitosis and meiosis are different. Because meiosis is when chromosomes are "mixed and matched" in order to make new different combinations, the strands are only mixed up so when they split, they have new genes at their ends. Because mitosis is when chromosomes are duplicated, or cloned, and are copies of each other, when they split, the new cell is the exact same copy as the original.
Because they are division of something. Meiosis is the division of chromosomes and mitosis is the division of cells.
Both meiosis and mitosis are forms of cell reproduction.They both have a prophase and an anaphase.Both are forms of cell reproduction/Both are forms of nuclear division. Meiosis occurs in generative cells and mitosis in somatic cells.
It can be concluded that Mitosis and Meiosis have similarities and differences. However,both Mitosis and Meiosis are both types of cell division and each begin with a duplicate set of chromosomes.
The interphase is the same for mitosis and meiosis. Just mitosis only has one telophase step (where the cells separate), while meiosis has two telophase steps. In both Mitosis and Meiosis, the cell only replicates it's DNA once.
The chromosomes condense during prophase, the first stage of both mitosis and meiosis.
There are many similarities between meiosis and mitosis, and the phases are almost identical. The main difference between them is that there are two divisions in meiosis, and the chromosomes are not replicated in both of these.
Mitosis vs. MeiosisBoth mitosis and meiosis are mechanisms that describe cell division. The difference is particularly noticeable when one looks at the DNA in the cell's nucleus. After mitosis, each of the daughter cells will have exact same DNA strands, while after meiosis each daughter cell will only have half of the DNA strands. (Sometimes the division is not exactly half/half, but that is not important for this answer). Because meiosis only has half the information that the parent cell had, the cell is (as far as we know) unable to reproduce by itself. The reason for meiosis is for reproduction of a multi-cellular organism as well as genetic diversity due to crossing over. One daughter cell (from the male of the species) will try to find a compatible daughter cell (from the female of the species) and fertilize it. This then becomes and embryo and the specie has successfully reproduced. And this is how you, the reader, came into existence.Other characteristics:Parent cell - full set of chromosomes in both mitosis and meiosis (2n).Number of divisions - mitosis 1; meiosis 2.Chromosome number of daughter cells - mitosis full set (2n) and meiosis half set (n).Crossing over - mitosis no; meiosis yesPaired homologues - mitosis no; meiosis yesDNA of daughter cells - mitosis identical to parent; meiosis daughter cells differentNumber of DNA replications - mitosis 1; meiosis 2Number of daughter cells - mitosis 2; meiosis 4Type of cells - mitosis somatic; meiosis sex cells
