Meiosis occurs in sex cells (gametes), such as sperm and eggs, and involves two rounds of division, resulting in four genetically diverse daughter cells, each with half the original chromosome number. This process is essential for sexual reproduction, allowing for genetic variation. In contrast, mitosis is a type of cell division that produces two identical daughter cells for growth and repair, and it occurs in somatic (non-reproductive) cells.

What is the order of fertilization sex cells meiosis zygote mitosis?

The order would be: Meiosis -> sex cells -> fertilization -> zygote -> mitosis Meiosis creates sex cells, called gametes, which combine during fertilization to create a zygote. The zygote then undergoes mitosis.


Which happens first mitosis or cell division?

Mitosis was first discovered and meiosis evolved out of mitosis. Mitosis stands for the first division of a cell into two genetic identically cells. Meiosis stands for two divisions into four genetic different cells.

What is the difference between cells produced by mitosis and meiosis?

Mitosis reproduces somatic cells, meiosis reproduces sex cells. Mitosis- Cell division involving body cells. Divides once. Meiosis- Cell division involving sex cells. Divides twice.


What are differences between mitosis and meiosis?

Meiosis is the production of new sex cells, (each cell has only half the the amount of info.- chromosomes as a normal cell because it will join eventually to another sex cell if fertilised and then they will make a complete cell of information together) Mitosis is the production of new body cells for growth and repair. the new cells are identical to the old original because the original cell splits in two and then those cells split and it continues.


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.
