Mitosis vs. Meiosis 5

Comparing Meiosis vs. Mitosis Click on each statement and choose whether it describes meiosis or mitosis or both. Follow this link for help with this assignment: Meiosis Sex cells (gametes) are produced Results in 4 daughter cells Daughter cells are haploid Daughter cells are genetically different than the parent cell Crossing over occurs 2 divisions 2n---> n Mitosis Body (somatic) cells are produced Results in 2 daughter cells Daughter cells are diploid Daughter cells are genetically identical to the parent cell 1 division 2n---> 2n Growth and repair Both Cellular Division DNA replicates once goes through phases (PMAT) involves cytokinesis a type of cell division Click on each statement and choose which type of cell reproduction it describes. Asexual Reproduction 1 parent Offspring genetically identical to parent Reproduction occurs faster Mitosis occurs for offspring to be produced Less energy required Both Parents produce Offspring DNA passed onto offspring Necessary for the survival of a species Sexual Reproduction 2 parents Offspring are genetically unique due to having half of their DNA from each parent More complex organisms Meiosis then mitosis needed to produce offspring Zygote formed after fertilization must find a mate
