First of all, mitosis happens in the body to replicate cells in the skin (for example). Meiosis happens in the sex organs, it makes gametes (sex cells).

In mitosis, the one parent cell and the two daughter cells are genetically identical and they have the same number of chromosomes.

In meiosis, the one parent cell and the four daughter cells are not genetically identical. The parent cell will have the full number of chromosomes but the daughter cells will only have half the normal number of chromosomes.

How is the amount of DNA in the beginning of Mitosis different from the amount at the end?

At the beginning of mitosis, the amount of DNA is the same as at the end. The DNA is replicated during the S phase of interphase to form sister chromatids, which separate during mitosis and result in two daughter cells with the same amount of DNA as the parent cell.


In Mitosis how many chromosomes does the parent cell have How many chromosome does the daughter cell have Is this number different or same for parent and daughter cell?

Mitosis, of course.


How do daughter cells at the end of mitosis compare to parent cells at the beginning?

Daughter cells at the end of mitosis are genetically identical to the parent cells at the beginning. They have the same number of chromosomes and carry the same genetic information. The parent cell divides into two identical daughter cells during mitosis.


What is the ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis?

The ratio of DNA in a daughter cell after mitosis is 2:1. Mitosis produces two daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell.


How does a daughter cell at the end of mitosis differ from its parent cell entering mitosis?

A daughter cell at the end of mitosis is smaller and has a duplicate set of chromosomes compared to its parent cell entering mitosis. Additionally, the daughter cell has identical genetic information to its parent cell.


In what way or ways are daughter cells and parent cells the same?

In mitosis (one parent cell), the daughter cells have the same genetic material as the parent (unless there is a mutation). In meiosis (two parent cells), the daughter cell/s will share some genetic material with either parent.


What is the relative amounts of DNA in parent and daughter cells in mitosis?

In mitosis, there is an equal amount of DNA present in the parent cell and the two daughter cells. This is because DNA replication occurs before mitosis, ensuring that each daughter cell receives a complete set of genetic material.


How does the heredity of a cell formed by mitosis compare to the herdity of the parent cell?

During Mitosis the cell creates an exact replica of the DNA and the cell as a whole. When an offspring is formed asexually the parent and offspring are also identical. When an offspring is formed sexually half the genetics of the parents are passed on to the offspring.


What is the chromosome number of the parent cell in mitosis?

28


What is the difference in DNA between parent call and daughter cells?

A cell that undergoes mitosis, such as a bacteria cell, splits to create an identical cell (daughter cell) that has identical DNA. So, when a cells split to multiply and grow, there DNA is the same, unless a mutation occurs.


The division of a diploid cell into two diploid cells?

The process of a diploid cell dividing into two diploid cells is called mitosis. During mitosis, the parent cell's DNA is replicated and then separated into two identical sets, one for each daughter cell. This ensures that both resulting cells have the same genetic information as the parent cell.


What do cells produced in mitosis contain?

Cells produced in mitosis contain an identical copy of the parent cell's genetic material, including chromosomes and DNA. The daughter cells are also usually similar in size and shape to the parent cell.
