Why mitosis is normal in cells containing both horse and donkey chromosomes but the mixed set of chromosomes interferes with meiosis?

Because mitosis is used for all cells except for brain, heart, muscle (because they do not duplicate) and sex cells (because they undergo meiosis). If the chromosomes are mixed, that means the horse and donkey went through sexual intercourse, therefore meiosis is taking place.

Explaining why the process of mitosis and meiosis are both?
mitosis is the duplicate of chromosomes and meiosis is the reducing of chromosomes.
What is the end result difference between mitosis and meiosis?
Mitosis = doubling of chromosomes. Meiosis = halving of chromosomes.
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?
No, only in meiosis
What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.

What are the process of chromosomes?
mitosis
How do the results of mitosis and meiosis differ?
the amount of chromosomes in a cell. meiosis is used in sexual reproduction and mitosis is just making more cells. chromosomes in a human after meiosis=24; mitosis=48.
Do the individual chromosomes move apart in mitosis or meiosis?
mitosis
Before mitosis or meiosis DNA coils into what?
Before mitosis and meiosis, DNA is loose in the form of chromatin, then it coils into chromosomes right before the mitosis and meiosis.
Is mitosis a direct cell division?
mitosis occurs in the somatic cells-normal cells of the body and the meiosis occurs in the reproductive cells of the body. as a result, mitosis results in cells containing the same number of sets of chromosomes as in the parent cell, while meiosis results in cells containing half the number of sets of chromosomes as the parent cell. for example, in humans, somatic cells contain two sets of chromosomes, one set from the mother and one from the father. mitosis results in daughter cells containing two sets of chromosomes. germ cells (cells which will become eggs or sperm) also contain two sets of chromosomes, but then undergo meiosis, resulting in daughter cells that contain only one set of chromosomes.
What processes separate eukaryotic chromosomes?
Mitosis and Meiosis
Do homologous chromosomes pair in mitosis?
No, only in meiosis
What are the main differences between meiosis and mitosis division?
Mitosis produces cells with 46 chromosomes while meiosis produces cells with only half the chromosomes, 23.
What is unique to mitosis and not a part of meiosis?
homologous chromosomes behave independently Pairing of homologous chromosomes allowing independent segregation and crossing over is unique to meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes behave independently.
What are some characteristics of mitosis and not meiosis?
In mitosis, cell division creates two diploid cells, while in meiosis, cell division creates two haploid cells. In metaphase of mitosis, a pair of chromosomes meet in the middle of the cell. during anaphase, the pair seperates. In meiosis, the chromosomes line up individualy in metaphase and separate in anaphase. Mitosis is cell division for all cells in the body except gamete cells. Meiosis is cell division for gamete cells.
