Mitosis occurs in our somatic cells and Meiosis occur in our reproductive cells, gametes Most of the time our body is under the influence of mitosis which replace the old and worn out cells with new one's whereas the Meiotic type of division occurs at a specific time in the life of an organism's development. The chromosome number in mitotic division remains the same whereas in meiotic division the chromosomes number is halved

Which is more complicated mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is definitely more complicated. I'm in 7th grade and my teacher is teaching us mitosis to prepare for meiosis.
Which one produces sex cells mitosis or meiosis?
mitosis, the cells split, it's more complicated than that though, check an article on cells
What is created by each of the processes mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis results in the formation of more somatic cells and meiosis creates haploid cells for gametophytic stage
Is mitosis or meiosis where the body do it?
Explain with more information on cells
Why do cell enter into meiosis?
Cells enter mitosis to reproduce and grow more cells.
Does mitosis or meiosis occur more frequently in your body?
mitosis occurs more frequently then meiosis
Which is more complicated mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is definitely more complicated. I'm in 7th grade and my teacher is teaching us mitosis to prepare for meiosis.
Which would you say is a more complex process mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
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.
Why meiosis is called modified mitosis?
Meiosis is very similar to mitosis. Meiosis produces two "half-cells" after the first cell division. Mitosis, however produces two fully genetically capable cells. After mitosis, the cell products can reproduce by themselves. Meiosis is a "modified" version of mitosis, meant for genetic diversity. Mitosis probably existed way before meiosis, simply because it is easier to execute. Meiosis produces what is called a gamete. These gametes, or 'sex cells' cannot reproduce by themselves. These half-cells are meant to be combined with the complementary gamete (egg with sperm) to maximize genetic diversity and promote evolution. Mitosis is the simplified version of meiosis, and meiosis is the "modified" mitosis. You often find mitosis in simple organisms, meant solely for reproduction purposes. Meiosis is more common in evolutionarily advanced organisms, such as mammals.

What are similarities and differences of mitosis and meiosis?
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
Which occurs more frequently in your body mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical
When does meiosis play a more significant role than mitosis?
Meiosis is the reproduction of the gametes or sex cells. So I'd go with meiosis.
