What are the difference between meiosis and mitosis?

Answer 1

in mitosis a parent cell divides into two daughter cells in which the chromosomes are replicated and distributed equally into daughter cells. while in meiosis a parent cell divides into four unequall daughter cells.

Answer 2

Meiosis and mitosis are the two processes through which cells reproduce and divide, but they don't work the same way. Mitosis occurs in cells of all living organisms, whereas meiosis occurs only in humans, animals, plants and fungi. The main difference between these two processes is that Mitosis' function is repairing and general growth of the body, and Meiosis' function is genetic diversity, because that's the way male and female sex cells are created.

Answer 3

Mitosis is an asexual process, while meiosis is sexual. Mitosis happens so a cell can grow or repair, and meiosis occurs for sexual reproduction. Also, mitosis produces 2 daughter cells, and meiosis produces four daughter cells.

Answer 4

Meiosis involves two rounds of cell division, resulting in four haploid daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is involved in the formation of gametes for sexual reproduction. Mitosis involves one round of cell division, resulting in two diploid daughter cells with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell. It is involved in growth, tissue repair, and asexual reproduction.
