Compare and contrast Mitosis and Meiosis. Explain 3 differences between the two processes.
Mitosis: 2 cells, identical, 2n, somatic cells
Meiosis: 4 cells, genetically different, 1n, gametes
Name one of the two processes that leads to genetic variation during Metaphase I of Meiosis.
Segregation & Independent Assortment
Compare and contrast Haploid and Diploid.
Haploid= 1n and are gametes
Diploid= 2n and are body cells

Prophase II-Metaphase II- Anaphase II- Telophase II-Cytokinesis II
Compare and contrast Chromosomes and Chromatin. Include where each is found (what type of cell).
Chromatin: Loosely coiled DNA (How DNA is usually found)
Chromosome: Tightly coiled DNA (only present during mitosis & meiosis)
