in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.

∙ 9y agoMeiosis and mitosis are the two processes through which cells reproduce and divide, but they don't work the same way. Mitosis occurs in cells of all living organisms, whereas meiosis occurs only in humans, animals, plants and fungi. The main difference between these two processes is that Mitosis' function is repairing and general growth of the body, and Meiosis' function is genetic diversity, because that's the way male and female sex cells are created.

∙ 12y agoMitosis is an asexual process, while meiosis is sexual. Mitosis happens so a cell can grow or repair, and meiosis occurs for sexual reproduction. Also, mitosis produces 2 daughter cells, and meiosis produces four daughter cells.

What is the difference between mitosis 2 and meiosis?
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
What are two differences between mitosis and meiosis?
1: Mitosis and Meiosis are the two ways by which cells reproduce.2: Mitosis and meiosis produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells' genes.
What are The faces of mitosis and meiosis?
there are no faces in mitosis and meiosis but there are phases
How can you compare mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical cells, while meiosis makes 4 genetically different cells.The end cells at mitosis are diploid (2N), while the end cells at meiosis are haploid (N).
What are some minor differences between meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis are division of the cell in which the nucleus is divided into two cells where as in meiosis nucleus are further divide and divide
What is the end result difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.
What is the main difference between meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis involves 1 division while meiosis involves 2
What is the difference between mitosis and meioisis?
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
What is the difference between mitosis 2 and meiosis?
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
What is the difference between prophase mitosis and prophase meiosis?
In prophase I of meiosis, crossing over of homologous chromosomes occurs. This does not happen in prophase of mitosis.
What is the difference between cell division and mitosis?
cell division includes mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is with one parent cell and meiosis is with 2 parent cells.
What is difference between meiosis 2 and mitosis?
During mitosis, sister chromatids are separated.
Which process has divisions mitosis and meiosis?
There are two types of cell division-mitosismeiosisThe difference in between them is that mitosis takes place in vegetative cells while meiosis in reproductive cells.
What is the difference between male mitosis and female mitosis for humans?
There is no difference, mitosis is the division of cells for the repair of damages areas, or growth, meiosis is different in male and females, mitosis isnt. Sources: An A in biology class
What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.
What is the difference beween Meiosis and Mitosis?
Mitosis is the splitting of cells to create two different cells. Meiosis is the division of the reproductive cells.
How many and what types of cell haploid or diploid results from meiosis and What is the difference between the two types?
Between meiosis and mitosis, which one would be considered a form of sexual reproduction?
