|
|
Meiosis is a multi-step process
|
|
|
Meiosis is used in the growth and repair of an organism.
|
|
|
Mitosis occurs only in eukaryotic cells.
|
|
|
Mitosis produces genetically identical daughter cells.
|
Detailed explanation-1: -Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells. Below we highlight the keys differences and similarities between the two types of cell division.
Detailed explanation-2: -D. Correct-Cells produced through mitosis contain DNA identical to the parent cells, whereas meiosis produces cells that are haploid and often genetically different.
Detailed explanation-3: -Mitosis creates two identical daughter cells that each contain the same number of chromosomes as their parent cell. In contrast, meiosis gives rise to four unique daughter cells, each of which has half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell.
Detailed explanation-4: -In mitosis, the daughter cells have the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell, while in meiosis, the daughter cells have half the number of chromosomes as the parent.
Detailed explanation-5: -Each daughter cell has half the number of chromosomes as compared to their parents (one copy of each chromosome). The resulting cells from meiosis are not genetically identical because of the recombination of genes that occurred during prophase 1.
