What else can I help you with?
Is crossing over unique to meiosis?
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).
What is the type of cell division that occurs when reproductive cells and has two divisions?
Meiosis
Process in which one cell divides to make two?
This process is called cell division, where a single parent cell divides into two daughter cells. Cell division ensures growth, repair, and reproduction in living organisms, and it occurs through either mitosis (for somatic cells) or meiosis (for sex cells).
How many times does cytokinesis occur in meiosis?
Cytokinesis occurs twice in meiosis, once after Meiosis I and again after Meiosis II. Each time, it divides a cell into two daughter cells.
How many times does interphase occur for cells in meiosis?
Interphase occurs once for cells undergoing meiosis. During interphase, the cell duplicates its DNA and prepares for division. After interphase, meiosis involves two rounds of cell division (meiosis I and meiosis II), but interphase itself is not repeated between these divisions.
What parts of your body does meiosis occur?
it occurs in the gametes, the sex cells. where mitosis occurs in all other cells that have two halves of chromosomes, meiosis occurs in cells which only have one half of the chromosomes.
Where is the human body does meiosis occur?
Meiosis occurs in the gonads (ovaries in females and testes in males) of the human body. This is where specialized cells called germ cells undergo meiosis to produce gametes (eggs and sperm) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Is crossing over unique to meiosis?
Yes. Crossover only occurs in prophase of meiosis I. Becuase it does not occur in mitosis, all the cells in our body are supposed to have the same genetic information (of course, excluding the cases where somatic mutations occur, such as in cancer).

Interphase is the first phase of meiosis.?
false
What are three differences between mitosis and meiosis?
Three key differences between mitosis and meiosis are: Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, while meiosis produces four genetically unique daughter cells. Mitosis occurs in somatic cells for growth and repair, while meiosis occurs in germ cells for sexual reproduction. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, while meiosis involves two rounds of cell division.
What are four ways in which meiosis different from mitosis?
Meiosis differs from mitosis in the following ways; meiosis produces four cells while mitosis two produces cells. Meiosis occurs in sex cells while mitosis occurs body cells.
In which organs does meiosis occur?
Meiosis is a form of cell division which occurs in the gonads (sex organs). The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is that meiosis involves two divisions and results in 4 'daughter cells' whereas mitosis only involves one division and results in two 'daughter cells' Meiosis is important as it produces cells for reproduction (gametes), and the number of chromosomes in each of the daughter cells is half the number of the original cell so that when fertilization occurs, the normal number of chromosomes is restored.
Why are two sperm never identical?
No two sperm cells are identical because of the process of crossing over that occurs in prophase I of meiosis.
How does DNA replication differ between mitosis and meiosis?
In mitosis, DNA replication occurs once, resulting in two identical daughter cells. In meiosis, DNA replication occurs twice, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells.
