Meiosis
Mitosis is associated with growth and asexual reproduction. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two genetically identical daughter cells, enabling both growth and reproduction without the need for sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction produces offspring that are genetically identical to the parent, while meiosis is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sex cells) with half the number of chromosomes. Asexual reproduction does not involve the fusion of gametes, while meiosis involves the combination of genetic material from two parents to create genetic diversity in offspring.
Mitosis does occur in sexual reproduction, but it is not part of the process of sexual reproduction itself. Instead, mitosis is responsible for the growth and repair of cells in the organism. During sexual reproduction, gametes are produced through meiosis, a process that reduces the number of chromosomes in half to create genetically diverse offspring.
Meiosis isn't reproduction itself but takes place during sexual reproduction. The function of meiosis is to produce haploid gamete cells that way when fertilization occurs the result are two haploid gametes (half the number of chromosomes) coming together. It occurs only during spermatogenesis or oogenesis, mitosis produces normal somatic cells.
Mitosis is the asexual form of reproduction, Meiosis being the sexual form. Mitosis involved replicating the Chromosomes of the cell and placing the exact replicas in the daughter cells, resulting in 2 cells. This is asexual reproduction because the cells are exactly the same. Meiosis involved replication of the chromosomes, random mixing of them and division into 2 cells, duplication and random mixing again and then division into two more cells resulting in 4 cells. This is sexual reproduction because the cells are not exactly the same.
Since a cell is not considered a living thing, meiosis is neither asexual or sexual reproduction.
meiosis
It is mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis II.
It is mitosis, meiosis I, and meiosis II.
Mitosis is asexual reproduction, meiosis is sexual reproduction.
Yes. Meiosis is not.
Mitosis, Meiosis, Asexual reproduction and Sexual reproduction
Mitosis is associated with growth and asexual reproduction. During mitosis, a cell duplicates its DNA and divides into two genetically identical daughter cells, enabling both growth and reproduction without the need for sexual reproduction.
Asexual reproduction involves creating offspring without meiosis or the formation of a zygote. This can occur through processes such as budding, fragmentation, or fission, where new organisms develop from a single parent organism. Asexual reproduction typically results in genetically identical offspring.
Asexual reproduction does not change the genotype of new generation whereas in sexual reproduction it is changed due to gamete formation by undergoing meiosis.
fission
No. Asexual reproduction provides no diversity, as it creates an exact copy of the organism. Sexual reproduction, on the other hand, provides diversity by using and combining different genes each time to create an entirely new version of the organism.
