Where do you expect genetic differences between cells to arise from mitosis or from meiosis?

That is a good question. In mitosis, you don't get regular genetic variation but chance mutations can occur. In meiosis with fertilization, you get pairing of DNA from different hosts on a regular basis. I would choose the latter.

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.
Is mitosis or meiosis involved in producing the trailing stems leaves and new roots in plants?
I think mitosis because mitosis involves growing which the plant is doing.... sorry if I'm wrong!
How is meiosis related to genes?
Meiosis allows a cell to form into 4 cells (by meiosis 1 (which is literally mitosis) and meiosis 2 (mitosis without DNA replication)) in meiosis 1, the cells exchanges DNA information between homologous pairs, this allows genes to be transferred and creates 4 unique and distinct cells. segragation of alleles occur too.
Places in the body where mitosis takes place?
Mitosis occurs in any cells in the body, however it doesn't take place in the gametes (Sperm and ova). Mitosis occurs when tissues are damaged e.g. skin = cut, mitosis is a rapid form of cell division that eventually heals to be new skin. mitosis can occur in the body anywhere, wherever new cells need to be produced to replace old or damaged cells. Meiosis however is the rapid cell division, in which, happens only in the gametes (sex cells) and no where else in the body.
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.
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 are the major differences between mitisis and meiosis?
There are quite a few differences between mitosis and meiosis. Meiosis for example only happens in the sex cells of an organism.
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.
Do mitosis and meiosis produce cells with the same amount of genetic information?
Meiosis cells have half the amount of genetic info as cells of mitosis.
What are some minor differences between meiosis and mitosis?
mitosis are division of the cell in which the nucleus is divided into two cells where as in meiosis nucleus are further divide and divide
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 are some differences between mitosis and meiosis?
Some differences between mitosis and meiosis are..mitosis: produces daughter cellsonly has one cell divisiononly produces 2 cellsnumber of chromosomes is diploidmeiosis: produces sex cellsdoubles the amount of cell divisions compared to mitosisdoubles the amount of cells produced compared to mitosisnumber of chromosomes is haploidAnd there you go. These are some differences between mitosis and meiosis. Please do not just copy these onto your homework paper. Thank you.
What are the similarities and not the differences between mitosis and meiosis?
similarities: They both go through interphase
Which is responsible for genetic variation mitosis or meiosis?
Meiosis is responsible for genetic variation
Conclusion between meiosis and mitosis?
It can be concluded that Mitosis and Meiosis have similarities and differences. However,both Mitosis and Meiosis are both types of cell division and each begin with a duplicate set of chromosomes.
What is d differences btwn mitosis and meiosis?
Meiosis happens in sex cells, while mitosis happens in every other cell.
Why are mitosis and mitosis similar?
Because they both result in the formantion of gametes; however there is no genetic variation in meiosis.
