How is Mitosis different from Meiosis? 1. Mitosis is the division of somatic or body cells. 2. There is only one division in Mitosis. 3. Mitosis creates genetically identical daughter cells. 4. The two daughter cells are diploid each containing two full sets of chromosomes (46). How are Mitosis and Meiosis similar? 1. They both have similar phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. 2. Both Mitosis and Meiosis are the reproduction of cells. 3. Interphase comes before both of these processes. 4. Nondisjunction can happen in both Mitosis and Meiosis.
Mitosis - reproduction on somatic cells Meiosis - reproduction of sex cells Sexual reproduction - reproduction with two organisms Nuclear envelope - separates the nucleus from the cytoplasm Chromatin - makes up chromatids Chromosome - two chromatids that carry genetic material Sister chromatids - two chromatids from a chromosome Homologous chromosomes - two connected chromosomes Tetrad formation - when homologous chromosomes connect
