half the parents DNA

exact copy of the parent's DNA

twice the parent's DNA

created their own DNA from scratch

The exchange of genes between chromosomes during meiosis that results in genetic diversity.

Programmed cell death (cell suicide) to prevent the spread of mutated/cancerous cells.

A type of cell division that creates gametes (sperm and egg cells).

A type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number of chromosomes as the parent cell.

Mitosis occurs in the cytoplasm and Meiosis occurs in the nucleus.

Mitosis results in diploid (2n) daughter cells and Meiosis results in haploid (n) daughter cells.

Mitosis results in 2 daughter cells and Meiosis results in 4 daughter cells.

Mitosis makes somatic (body) cells and Meiosis makes gametes (egg and sperm cells).
