5. Mitosis can be compared to a _____________________________.

6. Mitosis makes exact _________________ of the original cell.

7. The purpose of mitosis is ________________ and ______________ of organisms.

Answer 1

1. Four daughter cells

2. Create gametes

3. Half

4. Organism

5. Multiplication division

6. Copies

7. Growth and repair

Step-by-step explanation:

Mitosis and meiosis are the two major types of cell division that occur in living cells. Mitosis is the process whereby a cell produces TWO daughter cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell. In mitosis, EXACT OR SAME copies of the daughter cells are made with no variation whatsoever. The purpose of mitosis is for the growth and repair of living tissues in organisms that undergo them. For this reason, mitosis is termed a MULTIPLICATION DIVISION.

On the other hand, meiosis is a division which produces FOUR daughter cells that are genetically different from the parent cell. Each of the four daughter cells have their chromosomal number reduced by half since the purpose of meiosis is to create gametes or sex cells i.e a diploid organism (2n) will produce haploid gametes (n). The egg cell (female) and sperm cell (male) produced by meiosis later combines to form an organism with unique traits of both parents.
