Meiosis and mitosis are confused because iof the similarities in both the types of division.
The similarities between mitosis and meiosis is that in both types of cell division -
- the cells divide to form daughter cells
- DNA is replicated to form an extra set
- centrioles move to the opposite end of the cell and form spindle fibers between them
- the cell membrane, nucleolus and nuclear envelope all all break down
- the chromosomes line up in the center of the cell and each spindle fiber is attached to the center of the chromosome by their centromere
- the spindle fibres bring the chromatids to the opposite end of the cell
- in the ending phases of mitosis and meiosis the nuclear envelopes each contain half the amount of chromosome
- both the processes are a type of reproduction

Cell division that produces sex cells?
The process in which sex cells divide is called meiosis This is not, however; to be confused with mitosis, which is the division of non sex cells.
How many cells do you end up with after mitosis and meiosis?
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
Do jellyfish use mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
Does cell replacement occur in mitosis or meiosis?
Its meiosis. Mitosis is cell division.
Meiosis II is similar to which process?
Meiosis II is identical to Mitosis. Meiosis is split into two stages, Meiosis I and Meiosis II. Meiosis I is similar to mitosis however the cells resulting from it have half as many chromosomes as the parent cell.
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.
