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