meiosis is where sex cells are made
-there are 8 steps in meiosis
mitosis is where the nucleus divides
-there are 4 steps in mitosis
they both make chromosomes
In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.
Mitosis occur more frequently in our body. Basically mitosis occur when we get an injury or is an asexual type of reproduction. It occurs at the time of cell division and our cells need to divide often. While meosis is form of sexual reproduction and it does not occur quite often . Also, meiosis occurs more in men than in women. Look at it this way Mitosis splits once as meosis splits twice and they're not identical
Cytokinesis is the process that divides the cytoplasm to form two daughter cells following mitosis. It involves the physical separation of the cytoplasmic contents, including organelles and cytosol, between the two newly formed daughter cells. This division ensures that each daughter cell receives a complete set of cellular components necessary for functioning.
Meiosis is important for sexual reproduction by producing gametes with half the number of chromosomes, ensuring genetic diversity. Mitosis is crucial for growth, repair, and asexual reproduction by producing identical daughter cells for tissue maintenance and growth. Both processes are essential for the survival and reproduction of living organisms.
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.
Mitosis and Cytokinesis
Proteins and Nucleic Acids.
The cell divides (undergoes cytokinesis) during telophase.
Primordial germ cell multiply by mitosis when they have to increase their number like other cells but they divide by meosis during gametogenesis.
Two are produced in Mitosis and 4 in meosis.
reasorment of chromosomes can occur during meosis by crossing over
In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1. In mitosis, the homologous chromosomes dont interact, but in meosis, they separate during Anaphase 1.
telophase of mitosis contain 1 new diploid cell at the end while telophase of meiosis contain 4 new haploid cells at the period of division.
No, germ cells undergo meiosis to produce haploid gametes (sperm and egg cells), not mitosis. Mitosis is the process of cell division that produces genetically identical daughter cells for growth and repair in somatic cells.
There is no Mitosis II. I assume you are referring to Meosis, which has 2 stages of Mitosis. The second stage of Mitosis in Meiosis has the same phases as the first stage, but as opposed to producing two genetically identical daughter cells, it produces two slightly different gametes, other wise known as sex cells, otherwise known as haploids.
Metaphase of both mitosis and meosis resemble one another. Here, the chromosomes are condensed and aligned at the centre of the cell just before it divides. This state prior to division is refered to as 'the formation of the metaphasic plane'
after meosis , there are 46 chromosomes .
