First of all, mitosis happens in the body to replicate cells in the skin (for example). Meiosis happens in the sex organs, it makes gametes (sex cells).
In mitosis, the one parent cell and the two daughter cells are genetically identical and they have the same number of chromosomes.
In meiosis, the one parent cell and the four daughter cells are not genetically identical. The parent cell will have the full number of chromosomes but the daughter cells will only have half the normal number of chromosomes.

∙ 14y agoBoth processes are required for different types of cells. Each process is better for the specific type of cell it is associated with. Although both result in cell division, in animals, meiosis always results in the formation of gametes, while in other organisms it can give rise to spores. Mitosis is carried out with non-gamete cells.

∙ 13y agoIn humans: normal cells have 46 chromosomes and cells produced through meiosis will have 23. There are two types of cell reproduction: Mitosis and Meiosis. Mitosis is used throughout the body to create new cells with a full set of chromosomes, also called diploid cells. Meiosis is used in sexually reproducing organisms to create sex cells or gametes, these are haploid cells. These cells have half the number of chromosomes and will eventually fuse with another haploid cell of the same species to create a zygote.

∙ 8y agoHumans do both. Meiosis is sexual reproduction while mitosis is the dividing of cells to produce new ones within the human body.

How does a daughter cell at the end of mitosis differ from its parent cell entering mitosis?
The daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
What is the relative amounts of DNA in parent and daughter cells in mitosis?
The relative amounts of DNA in mother and daughter cells in mitosis are identical, as long as no chromosomal mutations occurred.
What is the chromosome number of the parent cell in mitosis?
28
How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?
The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA
What is the result of mitosis cell division?
One daughter cell with double the DNA of parent cell
How does a daughter cell at the end of mitosis differ from its parent cell entering mitosis?
The daughter cell has the same number of chromosomes and half the amount of DNA
What is the ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis?
The ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis is 2:1. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.
Difference in DNA between parent cell and daughter cell in meiosis?
Homologous chromosomes assort independently, so each gamete has a unique combination of alleles
What is the relative amounts of DNA in parent and daughter cells in mitosis?
The relative amounts of DNA in mother and daughter cells in mitosis are identical, as long as no chromosomal mutations occurred.
In Mitosis how many chromosomes does the parent cell have How many chromosome does the daughter cell have Is this number different or same for parent and daughter cell?
Mitosis, of course.
Why is DNA replication required prior to mitosis?
Because mitosis produces 2 genetically identical cells, each cell must have an equal amount of DNA as the parent cell had. Because of this, the DNA makes a duplicate copy of itself before mitosis begins, so that when the chromosomes separate each cell that forms will have as much DNA as the parent cell.
When a cell undergoes mitosis the daughter cells must inherit what?
Mitosis is the cellular division process not involved in sexual reproduction. In mitosis each daughter cell inherits an exact copy of the parent DNA as well as a portion of the mitochondria necessary for life.
Is DNA replication the same as mitosis?
No, mitosis is the process of cell division. DNA replication is only one part of this process.
What is the chromosome number of the parent cell in mitosis?
28
What makes sure that each new cell will be an exact copy of its parent cell?
It makes sure, by a process called Mitosis. This process ensures that the new cell gets an exact copy of the DNA from the original cell. Passing DNA ensures the genetic code remains the same for the new cell.
What is the difference in DNA between parent call and daughter cells?
A cell that undergoes mitosis, such as a bacteria cell, splits to create an identical cell (daughter cell) that has identical DNA. So, when a cells split to multiply and grow, there DNA is the same, unless a mutation occurs.
How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?
The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA
