how are mitosis and meiosis different?

Answer 1

Mitosis:
-- divides one nucleus into two identical nuclei, each with same number of chromosomes as the original nucleus
-- is part of the cell cycle in which one cell divides to make two identical daughter cells
-- helps multicellular oragnisms make new cells to grow, develop, repair parts, and replace worn out cells

Meiosis:
-- starts with one nucleus and ends up with four nuclei, each with half the original number of chromosomes
-- requires two divisions of the cell, resulting in four daughter cells
-- makes reproductive cells called gametes

Answer 2

Mitosis creates two genetically identical diploid cells.

Meiosis creates four genetically different haploid cells. Crossing over occurs leading to genetic recombination.

Answer 3

mitosis is where a cell divides into only 2 cells and they are exactly alike with complete cromosomes



where in meiosis a cell divides into 4 seperate cells
ushaly in sex cells


in whitch case


2 cells with y cromosomes are created and 2 celss with x cromosomes are created

Answer 4

Mitosis is the body making replica cells of it's self.... heart cells making heart cells, skin cells making skin cells.
Meiosis is two cells making one cell as in egg and sperm joining to make a fetal cell.

Answer 5

One makes two divisions and the other makes four
