8.3.5 Mitosis vs. Meiosis Flashcards
1
Q
mitosis vs meiosis
A
- both processes of nuclear division, but they differ in several ways: the number of divisions they have, the presence of synapsis, the number of daughter cells that they result in, the chromosome number in the resulting daughter cells, and function.

Q
mitosis vs meiosis
A
- replication of DNA before
- Mitosis: yes
- Meiosis: yes
- number of divisions
- Mitosis: 1
- Meiosis: 2
- synapsis
- Mitosis: no
- Meiosis: yes, in prophase
number of daughter cells - Mitosis: two
- Meiosis: 4
- chromosomes number in product
- Mitosis: 2n
- Meiosis: n
- function
- Mitosis: somatic cells
- Meiosis: gametes (sex cells)
