Identify 2 major differences between Mitosis and Meiosis

1. Number of Divisions
  • Mitosis: Involves one division, resulting in two daughter cells.
  • Meiosis: Involves two divisions (Meiosis I and Meiosis II), resulting in four daughter cells.
2. Number of Chromosomes
  • Mitosis: Maintains the chromosome number (diploid, 2n, 46 chromosomes). 
  • Meiosis: Reduces the chromosome number by half (haploid, n, 23 chromosomes). 
3. Genetic Variation
  • Mitosis: Produces genetically identical cells.
  • Meiosis: Produces genetically diverse cells due to processes like crossing over and independent assortment.
4. Occurrence
  • Mitosis: Occurs in somatic (body) cells.
  • Meiosis: Occurs in germ cells to produce gametes.
