∙ 6y agoThe process of cell division, be it Meiosis or Mitosis, does not form sets of faces. A face (eyes, nose mouth ears on a head) is a product of a complete organism's genetic expression using many cell divisions.

Meiosis is the cell cycle for germ cells (gametes) where they are haploid (n) so that is why they have two sets of phases.

Compare interphase in mitosis dividing cells to meiosis dividing cells?
The interphase is the same for mitosis and meiosis. Just mitosis only has one telophase step (where the cells separate), while meiosis has two telophase steps. In both Mitosis and Meiosis, the cell only replicates it's DNA once.
Does cell division occur twice in mitosis or meiosis?
It's mitosis. Meiosis is when the cell divides twice.
Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?
No, only in meiosis
How does the function of mitosis differ from the function of meiosis?
Mitosis makes new cells that are used during growth, development, repair, and asexual reproduction. Meiosis makes cells that enable an organism to reproduce sexually and happens only in reproductive structures.
How is meiosis 2 different from mitosis?
very little difference
What is copied during mitosis and meiosis?
A cell and its chromasomes.
Why are there two set of phases during meiosis but only one during mitosis?

What occurs only in the gonads mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis
What occurs in plants and animal mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
Occurs in both plants and animals mitosis or meiosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is only concerned in sex cells.
What is used to make body cell's meiosis or mitosis?
Mitosis. Meiosis is concerned only with sex cells.
In mitosis how many times is the DNA copied?
In both mitosis and meiosis DNA replication only occurs once, during Interphase and Interphase 1, for mitosis and meiosis, respectively.
What only takes place in reproductive organs mitosis or meiosis?
is mitosis or meiosis used to make body cells

Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?
No, only in meiosis
What is the difference of a cell that is formed from mitosis and a cell that is formed from meiosis?
Cells formed from mitosis are diploid and are identical (if no mutations occurred during DNA replication) to the parent cell. Cells formed during meiosis are haploid and are different than the parent cell (due to the process of crossing over). Note that mitosis produced only 2 daughter cells whereas meiosis produces four.
