1. Compare the processes of mitosis and meiosis. Be sure to describe the similarities and major differences.
2. Explain what alleles are and describe the difference between an autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive disorder.
Similarities: 1.Both Mitosis and Meiosis are types of cell division in which one cell gives rise to more than one cell. 2.Both follow duplication of chromosomes. Both include breakdown of the nuclear membrane.
3.Both require spindle fibers to move chromosomes around.
4.Both require chromosomes to line up in the middle of the cell (although in mitotic division, the chromosomes line up single file, whereas in meiosis 1 of meiotic division, the chromosomes line up in pairs (homologous).
5.Meiosis 2 of meiotic division is similar to mitotic division in that the chromosomes line up single file.
There are many differences in meosis and mitosis:
1-Meosis takes place in generative cells while mitosis takes
place in somatic cells.
2-At the end of meosis, four progeny cells are produced while in
mitosis two progeny cells are produced..
3-Meotically produce progeny cells have half number of chromosomes
as there parental cells while mitotically produced progeny cells
have same number of chromosomes as there parental cells.
4-During meosis, crossing over takes place in meosis I (pachytine
stage of prophase I) which is one of the man cause of natural
variation while in mitosis crossing over doesn't take place.
ALLELES
An allele is a variant form of a gene. Some genes have a variety of different forms, which are located at the same position, or genetic locus, on a chromosome.
>The difference between the autosomal recessive from the autosomal dominant trait is that in the former both alleles of the trait that received from both parents are recessive (homozygous), while in the latter the alleles are dominant.
Also autosomal recessive traits are traits which are not able to express themselves in a heterozygous condition while autosomal dominant diseases are caused by autosomal dominant traits which can express in hetetozygous condition.

What are the similarities and differences between mitosis and meiosis? When will cells be haploid and when will cells be diploid cells?
Hello, any help would be greatly appreciated. Please summarize the similarities and differences between the processes that occur during Mitosis and Meiosis during each phase. Example: Prophase and Prophase 1: what are the key similarities and differences ... Mitosis Meiosis Prophase Prophase I Metaphase Metaphase I Anaphase Anaphase I Telophase Telophase I Prophase Prophase II Metaphase Metaphase II Anaphase Anaphase II Telophase Telophase
6. The products of mitosis are mostly genetically identical. The products of meiosis are not a. Explain how meiosis can generate genetic diversity. What specific processes present in meiosis but not mitosis produce cells with different combinations of alleles?
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.
