Mitosis Vs Meiosis

Front

What is Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis is the process of cell division that results in two identical daughter cells, each with the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Front

What is Meiosis?

Back

Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the chromosome number by half, resulting in four genetically diverse gametes (sperm or eggs).

Front

What is the main purpose of Mitosis?

Back

The main purpose of Mitosis is growth, repair, and asexual reproduction.

Front

What is the main purpose of Meiosis?

Back

The main purpose of Meiosis is to produce gametes for sexual reproduction.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced in Mitosis?

Back

Mitosis produces 2 daughter cells.

Front

How many daughter cells are produced in Meiosis?

Back

Meiosis produces 4 daughter cells.

Front

What is the chromosome number in daughter cells after Mitosis?

Back

Daughter cells after Mitosis have the same chromosome number as the parent cell.

Front

What is the chromosome number in daughter cells after Meiosis?

Back

Daughter cells after Meiosis have half the chromosome number of the parent cell.

Front

What is Interphase?

Back

Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle where the cell prepares for division, including DNA replication.

Front

What are the stages of Mitosis?

Back

The stages of Mitosis are Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, and Telophase.
