Please compare and contrast mitosis and meiosis. How are they similar and how are they
different? When do these processes take place?100 words or more please
Solution
Both the mitosis and meiosis are two types of cell division that result in the production of new
cells. The following are the differences between mitosis and meiosis.
Mitosis
Meiosis
Occurs in vegetative cells
Occurs in reproductive cells
Daughter cells are identical to parent cells and are diploid.
Daughter cells are not identical to the mother cells and are haploid.
Number of daughter cells produced per each division are two
Number of daughter cells produced per each division are four
No genetic recombination occurs
Genetic recombination do occurs.
Number of chromosomes in mitosis at various stages are, Interphase = 2n,Prophase = 2n,
Metaphase = 2n, Anaphase = 4n, Telophase = 4n, Cytokenisis = 2n
Number of chromosomes in meiosis at various stages are, Meiosis-I
Interphase = 2n, Metaphase = 2n, Anaphase = 2n, Telophase = 2n, Cytokenisis = n.
Meiosis-II:
Metaphase 2 = n, Anaphase 2 = 2n, Telophase 2 = 2n, Cytokenisis 2 = n.
The main purpose of mitosis is tissue growth
The main purpose of meiosis is reproduction and gene diversity.
