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
Strictly speaking mitosis and meiosis are divisions of the?
Mitosis is division of a cell. Consists of the stages Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telaphase. Mitosis is part of the cell cycle. Meiosis is the division of a sex cell. Such as sperm or egg. Meiosis is unique because it goes through the stages twice. Prophase I, Prophase II, Metaphase I, and Metaphase II, etc.
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
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
How are meiosis and mitosis different?
Meiosis produces haploid cells and mitosis produces diploid cells (apex)
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.
When does cell division occurs in mitosis?
Once, and Meiosis divides twice. :) ur so smart.
The first step in meiosis?
Interphase then Mitosis then Cytokinesis then Mitosis the Cytokinesis That's what I remember. Mitosis will occur twice; the reason why there 4 daughter cells (gametes) and they are haploid.

5 different between mitosis and meiosis and 5 same between mitosis and meiosis give me a list plz?
Differences: # Cells undergoing mitosis divide once, cells undergoing meiosis divide twice. # Mitosis is for cell replication, meiosis is for genetic recombination and to produce reproductive cells # Meiosis does not produce exact copies, mitosis does # Crossing over occurs in meiosis # Mitosis produces diploid cells, meiosis produces haploid Similarities: # Both duplicate the organism's genome once, before any duplication occurs # Metaphase plates occur in both # Centrioles exist in both # They share the same basic steps for division # Both occur in eukaryotic cells

How often in the life of a cell would DNA replication occur?
mitosis: doubles then slits. meiosis: doubles twice then splits into 23s
Is meiosis mitosis happening twice?
Mieosis takes place twice. Mitosis takes place only once
What is a characteristic of mitosis and not of meiosis?
The daughter cells produced are genetcally identical. A mitosis divides cells, which still contains the same number on chromosomes. In mitosis DNA is replicated once, and the nucleus divides once. In meiosis DNA is replicated once, but the nucleus is divided twice.
What type of cell division produces gametes?
Meiosis. Mitosis is in somatic sells(non gametes/non sex cells) , and meiosis occurs in gametes/sex cells.
What True or false meiosis is when mitosis happens twice?
true
