How is Meiosis different from Mitosis? 1. Meiosis is the division of gametes or sex cells. 2. There are two divisions in Meiosis. 3. Meiosis creates genetically diverse daughter cells. 4. The four daughter cells are all haploid which is only one set of chromosomes (23). How are Meiosis and Mitosis similar? 1. They both have similar phases: prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase, and cytokinesis. 2. Both Meiosis and Mitosis are reproduction of cells. 3. Interphase comes before both of these processes. 4. Nondisjunction can happen in both Meiosis and Mitosis.
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
