Hi,

I think that the daughter cells produced by cell division are similar to the mother cell as they have the same amount of DNA and has been duplicated from the mother cell.

In mitosis, daughter cells are exactly like the parent cell (identical copies).

In meiosis, daughter cells are different but similar in the fact that the chromosomes have undergone crossing over, giving genetic variability. Thus producing a "recombined" daughter cell and essentially not identical to the parent cell.

In somatic cells, ( regular body cells) the daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cells because during mitosis, the chromosomes will replicate and create two sister chromatids. These will separate at the end of mitosis to create an identical cell. In Gamete cell (reproductive cells), the daughter cells are genetically different because of crossing over (genetic combination between two chromosomes) and independent assortment (random orientation of the pairs of homologous chromosomes at the metaphase plate of meiosis 1).

How many parent and daughter cells are present for a cell that divides through meiosis?

2 parent cells and 3 daughter cells


Asexually produced daughter cells are?

The genetic information in parent cells is copied exactly and passed to daughter cells.


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.


What is meant by a daughter cell?

Two daughter cells are the result of mitotic cell division in which the parent cell nucleus undergoes mitosis, creating two genetically identical daughter nuclei, followed by cytokinesis, the division of the cytoplasm which results in two daughter cells, each with an identical nucleus.


What are the daughter cells?

When a cell divides it produces two new cells, Daughter Cells. These are identicle to the parent cell in every way exept size (Nb not true for the first divisions of cell that will become a multicellular organism). To separate, the parent cell must replicate all its DNA so that both the daughters have a full Genetic Code. The DNA is stored within a nucleus (in Eukaryotes, not bacteria etc) and just before the cell splits there are two nuclei in it. These nuclei move through the cytoplasm to the most separate points in the cell, stretching the cell out into a an oval shape. Once this has happend this has happend the middle of the cell shrinks until the two sides meat. Think of it like having a long sausage shaped balloon with a peice of string looped around it. If you pull the string tighter the balloon shrkins in the middle. When the two sides of the parent cell meat they Fuse forming the two new daughter cells.

How do the daughter cells at the end of mitosis and cytokinesis compare with their parent cell when it was in?

The two daughter cells that result from mitosis are diploid just like the parent cell. The daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. In meiosis, 4 daughter cells result each with half the number of chromosomes that the parent cell had and are therefore called haploid.

How are daughter cells different then the parent cell?

Daughter cells are smaller in volume than the parent cell. This is because they split the cytoplasm of the parent cell during cytokinesis.
