how are the outcomes of cell division by meiosis different from those os mitosis?

Answer 1

in meiosis, there are, at the end of the procedure, 4 cells created from the original one. all of these celss are haploid (half the number of traits) and beome sex cells. in mitosis, the original cell is divided in 2 (not 4). the cells created are all diploid (all the traits are retained).

Answer 2

The outcome of meiosis are haploid and mitosis are diploid cells.The meiosis produces 4 daughter cells and mitosis 2 cells.

Answer 3

In MITOSIS, the 2 cells that come out of the division (lets call them the daughters), are EXACTLY the same in genetic makeup as the original mother cell. They have the very same DNA and therefore make the same proteins and therefore the cells behave the same.

In MEIOSIS on the other hand, the cells are not the same at all. And in fact, this is the point of meiosis - to make new types of cells. You may know that eggs and sperm are products of meiosis, but you not only get a mixing of genes from your mother (from the egg) and father (from the sperm), but the genes inside the egg and sperm are pre-mixed because of meiosis. Thus, genetic diversity!, and an explanation for why you have traits given to you from your grandmother through your father, even though your father may not have that trait (he carries it in his genes for later mixing). This may be a complicated issue in itself but since we have 2 of every chromosome and therefore 2 of every gene (even before the DNA replication that preceeds mitosis), there's a chance that the 2 copies of the same gene are different, one of which shows up in your father and one which you have that you got from your grandmother throuh your father. The mixing, by the way comes about because after the DNA replicates in preparation for cell division. This is neat and involves chromosomes breaking apart and joining back together. you need to know the order of division as well, IPMAT, I learned this way I prefer mince and tatties, so the first letter of each word in the saying is IPMAT which is for the phases , Interphase,prophase,metaphase,anaphase,telephase. hope this helps.

Answer 4

In mitosis, you have a full copy of the cell. In meiosis, you only have a copy of half of the cell. Meiosis is the process through which gametes are created.

Answer 5

adding to the above entries, mitosis produces identical cells. meiosis produces genetic variation.

Answer 6

I learned that in college anatomy and physiology, but don't remember now. I got an A on my test though.
