In mitosis, the end result is a DIPLOID chromosome. In meiosis, which is the process of forming new gametes (sperm and egg), the chromosomes split longitudinally at the centromere, resulting in a gamete which is HAPLOID, ie, it only has 50% of the normal number of chromosomes. When the egg and sperm unite, the resulting fertilized egg now has been restored to a diploidy.
What else can I help you with?
Are homologous chromosomes present in both mitosis and meiosis?
Yes, homologous chromosomes are present in both mitosis and meiosis. In mitosis, homologous chromosomes do not pair up, while in meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair up during prophase I.
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.
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.
How do chromosomes align differently in meiosis compared to mitosis?
In meiosis, chromosomes align in pairs during metaphase I, while in mitosis, chromosomes align individually during metaphase.
How is the chromosomes number halved during cell division: through mitosis or meiosis?
The chromosomes number is halved during cell division through meiosis, not mitosis.
What processes separate eukaryotic chromosomes?
Mitosis and Meiosis
How is metaphase different in mitosis and meiosis?
In both mitosis and meiosis, metaphase is the stage where chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell. However, in mitosis, the chromosomes line up in a single row, while in meiosis, they line up in pairs. This is because meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in the separation of homologous chromosomes.
How does metaphase in meiosis differ from metaphase in mitosis?
In metaphase of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs, while in metaphase of mitosis, individual chromosomes line up singly.
What are Homologous chromosomes that occurs in meiosis but not mitosis is called?
Tetrad
What is the difference between metaphase in mitosis and metaphase I in meiosis?
In metaphase of mitosis, chromosomes line up in the middle of the cell, while in metaphase I of meiosis, homologous chromosomes line up in pairs.
During which stage of cell division do homologous chromosomes pair up: mitosis or meiosis?
Homologous chromosomes pair up during the stage of cell division called meiosis, not mitosis.
What is the antonym for mitosis?
The antonym for mitosis is meiosis. Meiosis is a type of cell division that results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell, whereas mitosis results in two daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
