In mitosis, the end result is a DIPLOID chromosome. In meiosis, which is the process of forming new gametes (sperm and egg), the chromosomes split longitudinally at the centromere, resulting in a gamete which is HAPLOID, ie, it only has 50% of the normal number of chromosomes. When the egg and sperm unite, the resulting fertilized egg now has been restored to a diploidy.

Explaining why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both?
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
What is the end result difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.
What are the process of chromosomes?
mitosis
How do the results of mitosis and meiosis differ?
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.
Do the individual chromosomes move apart in mitosis or meiosis?
mitosis
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
What processes separate eukaryotic chromosomes?
Mitosis and Meiosis
Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?
No, only in meiosis
What are the main differences between meiosis and mitosis division?
Mitosis produces cells with 46 chromosomes while meiosis produces cells with only half the chromosomes, 23.
What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
When do chromosomes replicate?
Chromosomes replicate in the first stage of mitosis or meiosis-interphase
What are Homologous chromosomes that occurs in meiosis but not mitosis is called?
Tetrad
