Mitosis is the cell division which occurs in all eukaryotic cells resulting in the production of two cells exactly like the original. It is the form of cell division required for growth and repair to all living organisms which possess a membrane enclosed nucleus.=Meiosis is a form a cell division which results in the formation of sex cells or gametes in eukaryotic organisms. The number of chromosomes carried by each gamete has been reduced to 1/2 of the original complement. Normally four gametes result from the process.=

What is the main difference between meiosis and mitosis?

mitosis involves 1 division while meiosis involves 2


What are two differences between mitosis and meiosis?

1: Mitosis and Meiosis are the two ways by which cells reproduce.2: Mitosis and meiosis produce fresh new cells based on their parent cells' genes.


What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis 1?

Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis 1 is a type of cell division that results in four genetically different daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes.


How many rounds of division does meiosis involve versus mitosis?

meiosis involves 2 cell divisions while mitosis involves 1


How does metaphase 1 differ from metaphase of mitosis?

In metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes align at the cell's equator in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis individual chromosomes align. Additionally, in meiosis I, genetic recombination and crossing over can occur between homologous chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity.


When does crossing over happen in mitosis 1?

Mitosis does its crossing over in prophase


Is meiosis 1 the same as mitosis?

No, meiosis 1 is different from mitosis. Meiosis 1 is a type of cell division that produces gametes with half the number of chromosomes, while mitosis is a type of cell division that produces identical daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.


What phases are found in both meiosis and mitosis?

The phases found in both meiosis and mitosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. In meiosis, there are two rounds of division (meiosis I and meiosis II), while mitosis only involves one round of division.


Differences between mitosis and meiosis?

place of occurence ;mitosis= somatic cells | meiosis=gonadic cells crossing over;mitosis=does not occur | meiosis=occur during prophase of meiosis 1 to form tetrads number of daughter cell;mitosis=two | meiosis= four genetic variation;mitosis=no variation produced| meiosis=produces genetic variation genetic composition in daughter cell; mitosis=identical to the parent cell | meiosis= non identical to the parent cell and each other


What is the difference between the results of mitosis and the results of meiosis?

In mitosis, the offspring is a perfect copy of it's parent. In meiosis, the offspring is different. We are the result of meiosis. BTW I learned that about 1 week ago in Science 7. Wow. I guess these dumb classes can be useful if you go around answering random questions on Answers.com. :) -<3 Purple415 <3


Which meiotic division is most like mitosis?

There are many similarities between meiosis and mitosis, and the phases are almost identical. The main difference between them is that there are two divisions in meiosis, and the chromosomes are not replicated in both of these.


What distinguishes prophase 1 of meiosis from prophase of mitosis?

In Prophase I of meiosis, a tetrad is formed between 2 homologous chromosomes and their replicates. Small pieces are exchanged between the chromosomes and the tetrad breaks up. Then things happen as usual. So really the only difference is that there's genetic recombination.
