Differences between mitosis and meiosis
  1. Mitosis
    1. A process of asexual reproduction in which the cell divides in two
      1. Producing a replica with an equal number of chromosomes
      2. Genetically Identical
        1. Two diploid daughter cells
          1. Occurs in all organisms
            1. Makes every cell other than the gametes
              1. No cross over occurs
                1. Asexual reproduction
                  1. 2 cells produced
                    1. 1 division of the nucleas and cytokinesis
                      1. Chromosome number stays the same
                        1. Function is for growth and repair
                        2. Meiosis
                          1. A type of cellular reproduction in which the number of chromosomes are reduced by half through separation of homologous chromosomes in a diploid cell
                            1. Genetically different
                              1. Four haploid daughter cells
                                1. Occurs in Animals and plants
                                  1. Cross over occurs
                                    1. Creates gametes only
                                      1. Sexual reproduction
                                        1. 4 cells produced
                                          1. 2 divisions of nucleas and cytokinesis
                                            1. Chromosome number reduced by half
                                              1. Function is sexual reproduction
