200
What type of information does the mRNA contain?
genetic information (information for how to build proteins)
200
What molecule is read by the ribosome, and what molecule does the ribosome make?

What is the difference between Mitosis and Meiosis?

Mitosis forms 2 diploid somatic cells that are genetically identical to the parent cell.

Meiosis forms 4 haploid gametes that genetically unique from each other and the parent cell.
