How are meiosis and mitosis alike and different?

Answer 1

Mitosis and meiosis are alike in that they both are a kind of cell division. They are different in that mitosis produces two cells identical to the original, while meiosis produces cells that only have half the chromosomes of the original. Meiosis ends up with haploid cells, while mitosis end up with diploid cells.

Answer 2

Meiosis is a special type of cell division. It also has haploid cells(1n cells). Mitosis is the process of which the nucleus divides. Meiosis and mitosis are alike in some ways. One way is that they have to do with cell division. Another way is that they both can produce daughter cells. Daughter cells are cells that are produced by the parent. They have the exact same copy as the parent organism. Daughter cells did not come from the gender.

Answer 3

Meiosis and mitosis are both processes of cell division, but they differ in the number of divisions and resulting daughter cells produced. Mitosis involves one division, resulting in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis involves two divisions, resulting in four genetically unique daughter cells. Meiosis is specific to sex cell production and leads to genetic variation through crossing over and random assortment of chromosomes.

Answer 4

Mitosis is the multiplication of cells, which mean any cell in the human body. Meiosis, is the multiplication of reproductive cells in the human body
