Why do some species employ both mitosis and meiosis where others only use mitosis?
Some species use both mitosis and meiosis because they have specialized reproductive cycles that involve both processes. Mitosis is used for growth, development, and tissue repair, while meiosis is specifically used for the production of gametes (sex cells) for sexual reproduction. In contrast, species that only use mitosis for reproduction have simpler life cycles and reproduce asexually, without the need for meiosis to generate genetically diverse offspring.
What are the functions of meiosis but not mitosis in eukaryotes?
Meiosis is responsible for producing gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It generates genetic diversity through crossing over and independent assortment during prophase I and metaphase I. Meiosis also ensures genetic recombination by mixing maternal and paternal chromosomes.
Is mitosis occurs in both plants and animals?
Yes, mitosis occurs both in plants, as well as animals. Mitosis is the reproduction of an organism's cells. For example, when a woman who is pregnant waits for her child to be born, mitosis occurs. Same thing with plants. Hope that helped!
What types of organisims grow or reproduce by meosis and mitosis?
Organisms such as plants, animals, fungi, and protists undergo both mitosis and meiosis for growth and reproduction. Mitosis produces two identical daughter cells for growth and repair, while meiosis produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the genetic material for sexual reproduction.
Where does meiosis occur in animals?
Mitosis happens everywhere in animals. Anywhere where new cells are being made mitosis happens. You can remember the difference between mitosis and meiosis by mitosis happens in your toes, meiosis just happens in ovaries and testes.
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.

How can you compare mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis produces 2 genetically identical cells, while meiosis makes 4 genetically different cells.The end cells at mitosis are diploid (2N), while the end cells at meiosis are haploid (N).
Meiosis 1 is the same as what other reproduction process?
Meiosis I is similar to mitosis, as both processes involve the separation of homologous chromosomes. In meiosis I, the genetic material undergoes recombination and crossing over, leading to genetic diversity, which does not occur in mitosis.
Indentify the two process involved in cell division?
Meiosis: sex cell division Mitosis: animal/plant cell division
What is the unique characteristics of a star fish?
It is an animal- which typically reproduce using meiosis- which can use mitosis to duplicate itself if a limb is detached.
Are chromosomes involved in mitosis in animal cells?
YesThey are involved in meiosis too. Nuclear division carried to divide chromosomes mainly

How is Mitosis different than people and animal cells?
mitosis is the process of a cell splitting. people don't split in half, we combine are DNA (i think this is called meiosis pronounced my-OH-sis)

Are genes present in plant cells?
Yes because plant cells go through Mitosis and Meiosis just like animal cells
How does a haplontic animal grow?
Zygotic meiosis is the reproductive cycle of the haplontic life cycle. Gametes from adult haploid individuals unite forming the diploid zygote. The zygote undergoes meiosis and generates four haploid cells that by mitosis develop into adult individuals. Therefore in the zygotic meiosis the cell that undergoes meiosis is the zygote and the gametes are formed by mitosis. TDLR: Effectively, two Haploid cells combine to form a diploid cell which then undergoes meiosis, except the result; gametes are the end product.
