Differences between mitosis and meiosis?

Answer 1

Answer #1

Ans. Differences between mitosis and meiosis are -

Mitosis	Meiosis
It is an equational division I.e., number of chromosomes in daughter cells is similar to that of parent cell.	It a Reductional division I.e., number of chromosomes in daughter cells is reduced to half as compared to the number of chromosomes in parent cell.
Crossing over do not occur	crossing over occurs in pachytene of prophase I.
No chiasmata formation	Chiasmata is formed during diplotene of prophase I.
It produces genetically identical cells	It gives rise to genetically unique cells.
Prophase has no sub stages	Prophase has 5 sub stages- Leptotene, Zygotene, pachytene, diplotene and diakinesis

New variations are not produced	Variations are produced due to crossing over.
Involved in growth and repair	role in sexual reproduction in gametes formation.

What is a major difference between mitosis and meiosis I in a diploid organism? Only meiosis I results in daughter cells that contain identical genetic information. Sister chromatids separate in mitosis; homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis I. Sister chromatids separate in mitosis; homologous pairs of chromosomes separate in meiosis II. ODNA replication takes place prior to mitosis, but not before meiosis I.
