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.
A prison construction firm. That, or cellular mitosis.
the cells formed by mitosis and meiosis are called daughter cells.
there are no faces in mitosis and meiosis but there are phases
The order would be: Meiosis -> sex cells -> fertilization -> zygote -> mitosis Meiosis creates sex cells, called gametes, which combine during fertilization to create a zygote. The zygote then undergoes mitosis.
Tetrad
Mitosis and Meiosis.
No., its different but it also have a comparison, in mitosis it is one cycle, but in meiosis it repeats, the first cycle is what we called mitosis while if it repeats this is what we called meiosis,
After mitosis you have two cells and after meiosis you have 4 cells.
Meiosis
Its meiosis. Mitosis is cell division.
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 and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
