Meiosis and Mitosis
Meiosis vs. Mitosis:
Meiosis requires two nuclear divisions, but mitosis requires only one nuclear division. Meiosis producers four daughter nuclei, and there are four daughter cells following cytokinesis; mitosis followed by cytokinesis results in two daughter cells. Following meiosis, the four daughter cells are haploid and have half the chromosome number as the parent cell. Following mitosis, the daughter cells have the same chromosome number as the parent cell. Following meiosis, the daughter cells are genetically dissimilar to each other and to the parent cell. Following mitosis, the daughter cells are genetically identical to each other and to the parent cell.
Meiosis I vs. Mitosis:
During meiosis I, tetrads form, and crossing-over occurs during prophase I. This event does not occur during mitosis. During metaphase I of meiosis, tetrads align at the spindle equator. The paired chromosomes have a total of four chromatids each. During metaphase......
