Question

Meiosis differences mitosis

Answer 1

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. 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.

Answer 2

Mitosis is the genetic separation of a parent cell, resulting in two daughter cells and the daughter cells are identical to the parent and with each other. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a two-cycle genetic separation of a parent cell, resulting in four daughter cells, and the chromosomes separate, leading to four daughter cells that are not identical to each other or the parent.
