Question

Compare the outcome of mitosis vs. meiosis.

Answer 1

Mitosis:
- one cell division
- no crossing over
- produces 2 diploid daughter cells
- daughter cells are identical

Meiosis:
- 2 cell divisions occur
- crossing over occurs in prophase
- produces 4 haploid daughter cells
- daughter cells are genetically different

Answer 2

Cells divide and reproduce in two ways, mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis results in two identical daughter cells, whereas meiosis results in four sex cells
