The daughter cells that result from mitosis are identical to each other and the parent cell. The daughter cells that result from meiosis contain half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell and are not identical to each other or to the parent cell.

Mitosis consists of a single nuclear division and is usually accompanied by a single cell division. After mitosis, chromosomes number in newly formed cells is the same as that in the original cell. Thus generating an identical daughter cell, genetically exactly the same.

Meiosis on the other hand consists of two divisions and causes chromosome numbers in the newly formed cell to be reduced by half, producing genetically variable cells (not genetically identical), but similar in the fact that the genes are essentially recombined. The recombined chromosomes (containing the genes) make it unique and allow genetic differences (resulting from crossing over and random separation of homologous chromosomes).

No, they are about 50% of the original cell, each.

No. This is because the parent cell needs to grow twice the average size before it divides. As a result, the daughter cell and the parent cell are the same size.

They are identical because they have the same DNA. This is due to unicelluar reproduction. The reason there is a difference in animals is because of bicelluar reproduction.

How do the daughter cells compare to parent cells?

Daughter cells are identical to the parent cell.


Is identical diploid daughter cells mitosis?

mitosis ends with 2 identical daughter cells and meiosis ends with 4 non-identical sister chromatids.


What process produces daughter cells that are genetically identical to there parent cells?

This process is called cell division or mitosis.


Which best describes the daughter cells produced by mitosis?

The daughter cells produced by mitosis and cytokinesis are genetically identical.


Daughter cells are identical to parent cell?

It is said that in meiosis, the daughter cells are not identical, cause the daughters cells have a combination of both parents' chromosomes. In the cell cycle they are identical.


What is the result when a cell undergoes mitosis?

A mitotic division results in the formation of two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell. The parent cell divides into the two daughter cells. The newly formed cells have diploid number of chromosomes (just like the parent cell)


What type of cell division results in cells that are genetically identical?

Daughter cells are identical to their parent cells in mitosis. During this form of cell division, somatic cells separate into two identical daughter cells.


How are daughter cell like the parent 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.


How do the events of the cell cycle ensure that the daughter cells will be identical to the parent cell?

DNA


How does the genetic make up of cells that results from mitosis differ from the parent cell?

Mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two genetically identical, diploid daughter cells. Meiosis followed by cytokinesis results in four genetically non-identical, haploid daughter cells.


How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?

The daughter cells have the same # of chromosomes & the same amount of DNA


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.
