Meiosis

Front

What happens during prophase in mitosis?

Back

What is the purpose of cytokinesis in cell division?

Back

To divide the cytoplasm and separate the two daughter cells.

Front

What is the difference between mitosis and meiosis?

Back

The main difference between mitosis and meiosis is the number of daughter cells produced and the genetic variation in the daughter cells.

Front
