What I remember from school was that meiosis split into 4 cells and that mitosis split into two cells and I think that meiosis happened when cells were trying to repair something and mitosis was for reproduction. (Remember miTosis=Two)
Mitosis is always equational - that is, if the parent cell is haploid, then the two daughter cells will also be haploid, whereas if the parent cell is diploid (or some other ploidy), then the two daughter cells will have the same ploidy.
Meiosis (if it goes to completion) is reductional; a diploid parent cell will produce four haploid daughter cells. Meiosis I is the reductional division, wherein the diploid parent cell produces two haploid cells; meiosis II is the equational division, wherein each of the two haploid cells divides to form a total of four haploid daughter cells.
in mitosis, the cell just splits in 2, the daughter cell having the same amount of chromosomes as the adult, and the process of meiosis produces the sex cells, and the sex cells have half the number of chromosomes
The daughter cells in mitosis are identical and the daughter cells in meiosis are not identical.
the # of daughter cells produced in meiosis are 4 and the ones in mitosis are 2

Mitosis produces Somatic Cells while Meiosis produces Gametic Cells.
Binary fission reproduces a replica while meiosis reproduces a similar offspring. In binary fission, two cells are produced from one parent cell, while four cells are produced from one parent cell in meiosis.
Meiosis produces haploid cells and mitosis produces diploid cells (apex)
Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis followed by cytokinesis results in four genetically non-identical, haploid daughter cells.
Meiosis reduces the number of chromosome sets from two (diploid), to one (haploid). In mitosis the daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell, but meiosis produces cells that differ genetically from the parent cell as well as each other. In the final stage of meiosis II there end up being 4n daughter cells. So remember mitosis is diploid and meiosis is haploid.
Amitosis is nuclear division occurring without symmetry, and as such is a rather random type of division with without proper structure. Mitosis and Meiosis do differ in the number of daughter cells, mitosis with 2 and meiosis with 4. This, however, is also not a fair comparison, as mitosis and meiosis result in different types of cells.
Mitosis produces Somatic Cells while Meiosis produces Gametic Cells.
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.
Meiosis differ among humans and alligators because the number of chromosomes that is given from the parents.
Binary fission reproduces a replica while meiosis reproduces a similar offspring. In binary fission, two cells are produced from one parent cell, while four cells are produced from one parent cell in meiosis.
their both different because m2 has 4 daughter cells but m1 has 2 daughter cells
Meiosis produces haploid cells and mitosis produces diploid cells (apex)
Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis followed by cytokinesis results in four genetically non-identical, haploid daughter cells.
a. chromatids do not separate at the centromere in anaphase I. b. centromeres do not exist in anaphase I. c. crossing-over occurs only in anaphase of miitosis
The basic difference is that mitosis results in the production of two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell, whereas meiosis results in the production of 4 daughter cells that differ from the parent cell in chromosome number and genetic components. There are also differences in the stages that occur during each process.
Many organisms use mitosis and meiosis. Namely, all eukaryotes probably use mitosis and meiosis. Only bacteria (prokaryotes) would not divide by mitosis and have no mechanism for meiosis as their chromosomes differ from those of eukaryotes.But eukaryotes all have the capacity for mitosis and meiosis. Eukaryotes include all animals, plants, protists and fungi.Thus, since pigs are animals (and are thus eukaryotes), then indeed they have cells that divide by mitosis and meiosis. Their body cells (somatic cells) divide by mitosis (for growth and repair). Their gametes (sperm cells and ova) are produced by meiosis as these cells must be divided to a haploid form before copulation and fertilisation. Two haploid gametes would fuse (fertilisation) to restore the resulting cell (zygote) to a diploid form. The zygote grows into a new piglet via mitosis.
Mitosis makes new cells that are used during growth, development, repair, and asexual reproduction.Meiosis makes cells that enable an organism to reproduce sexually and happens only in reproductive structures.They both lead to cell division, rest is different. Meiosis leads to reductional division, taking place in sex cells only while Mitosis takes place in somatic (body) Cells. Meiosis produces 4 daughter Cells and mitosis produces 2.
