Four daughter cells produced in mitosis or meiosis?

meiosis


How many chromosomes will be found in each daughter cell after mitosis?

46 chromosomes will be found in a human daughter cell after mitosis, 23 chromosomes will be found after meiosis.


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.


Does meiosis or mitosis have daughter cells with the same number and types of chromosomes as the mother cell?

Mitosis, of course.


How are daughter cells produced?

Mitosis: Two Meiosis: Four


In Mitosis if a cell has 16 chromosomes how many chromosomes will each daughter cell have?

It depends on the process: mitosis or meiosis. If the cell is dividing through mitosis, then the two daughter cells will have 16 chromosomes; in meiosis, the four daughter cells will have 8 chromosomes.


If a cell with 40 chromosomes undergoes mitosis each of the daughter cells will have chromosomes.?

Meiosis results in gametes that have half the number of chromosomes of other cells. A gamete carries one of each pair of homologous chromosomes. Their are 46 chromosoes in Meiosis I and 23 in Meiosis II.

Is meiosis is associated with haploid number of chromosomes?

Yes, the process of meiosis results in four daughter cells with a haploid number of chromosomes. In contrast, mitosis results in two daughter cells with a diploid number of chromosomes.


Explaining why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both?

mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.


How does the daughter cells produced from meiosis differ from those produced by mitosis?

What I remember from school was that meiosis split into 4 cells and that mitosis split into two cells and I think that meiosis happened when cells were trying to repair something and mitosis was for reproduction. (Remember miTosis=Two)


How many daughter cells are produced?

Mitosis: Two Meiosis: Four
