Question

How really does meosis differs from mitosis?

Answer 1

Mitosis is the reproduction of skin, heart, stomach, cheek, hair etc. cells. These cells are "Autosomal" cells. This is also a form of "Asexual" reproduction, where one organism or cell reproduces itself. Some organisms that reproduce asexually are hydra, bacteria, and single celled organisms.

"A" greek meaning "without."

"s*x" Greek meaning "to cross."

Meiosis is the production of sperm and egg cells. These cells are "Gamete" or "s*x" cells. Each cell has to go through the division process twice in order for the cell to end up with half the number of chromosomes. The cells pass on genetic information to the offspring. This is a form of "Sexual" reproduction, where one organism or cells reproduces by crossing with another organism or cell. Types of organisms that reproduce sexually are; plants, animals, and insects.

Answer 2

Meiosis is the process of cell division in sexually reproducing organisms that reduces the number of chromosomes in reproductive cells from diploid to haploid, leading to the production of gametes in animals and spores in plants. while

Mitosis is the process in cell division by which the nucleus divides, typically consisting of four stages, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase, and normally resulting in two new nuclei, each of which contains a complete copy of the parental chromosomes. Also called karyokinesis

Answer 3

Mitosis is responsible for growth & development.

Meosis is responsible for gametes formation.

Answer 4

MITOSIS:-

1) mitosis occurs continuously in the body or somatic cells

2) da whole process completes in one sequence

3) PROPHASE:-

     -) no synapsis

     -) double stranted cchromosomes attach 2 spindle individually

4) METAPHASE:-

     -)each chromosome is attached 2 separate microtubules

     -)centromeres of da chromatidsuncouple

5) ANAPHASE:-

     -)seperation of 2 chromatids frm double stranded chromosomes; each new chromosome single stranded

6) TELOPHASE:-

     -)formation of 2 new nuclei, each with da same number of chromosomes as da parent nucleus

7) INTERPHASE AFTER TELOPHASE:-

     -)single stranded chromosome

     -)replication of each chromosome 2 make it double stranded

MEIOSIS:-

1) PROPHASE:-

     -)synapsis occurs

     -)double stranded chromosomes attach 2 spindle in pairs

2) METAPHASE:-

     -)da 2 chromosome of a bivalent r attached 2 da same microtubules

     -)centromores in chromatids of da double stranded chromosome do not uncouple, remain together

3) ANAPHASE:-

     -)seperation of 2 chromosomes of a bivalent; each chromosome still double stranded

4) TELOPHASE:-

     -)formation of 2 new nuclei, each with half da number of chromosomes present in da parent nucleus

5) INTERPHASE AFTER TELOPHASE:-

     -)double stranded chromosome

     -)no replication of genetic material or chromosome

i guess this will do.........

Answer 5

Meosis is cell division that produces s*x cells (gametes) for reproduction For the new organism. Basically half the chromosomes so that 23 chromosomes are inherited from each parent.

Mitosis is cell division that produces body cells for maintence, growth and repair of other cells.

Answer 6

Meiosis is a reductional division and takes place only when gametes are to be produced.  The product of this division is 4 cells each having haploid number of chromosomes.

Mitosis is a equational division which takes place during normal growth eg. formation of new cells, tissue etc.  The product of this division is only two cells each with diploid number of chromosomes.

Answer 7

1. Meoosis occur in somatic cells but mitosis occur in reproductive cell.

2. In Meoosis exchange of genetic material is not there but in Mitosis exchange is there.

3. At last of division in meosis two new cells are produced but in mitosis four new cells are produced.

4. Prophase is short and simple in meosis but in mitosis long and complex

Answer 8

simply mitosis is the cell division/replication of normal everyday body parts while meiosis is the cell division for s*x cells such as sperm and egg cells

Answer 9

In mitosis, all chromosomes are lined up singly.

In meiosis homologous chromosomes are lined up in pairs.

There is a crossing over in meiosis, which does not happen in mitosis.

There is a delayed splitting of centromere is meiosis, it happens in the second stage

In mitosis there is a splitting of centromere is late metaphase.

Meiosis is reductional, mitosis is equational.

Answer 10

mitosis is the process of 'cell division' during asexual reproduction, where the daughter cells formed are genetically identical to the mother cell.

however, in meiosis, it is the process of cell division which takes place in sexual reproduction. the daughter cells are not identical to the mother cells, and therefore a variation in the population is seen. for example u arent an exact copy of any one of ur parents. uve got a mixture of genes from the both of them.

Answer 11

Mitosis occurs in somatic cells and meiosis occurs in germ cells which gives rise to gametes. After mitosis the chromosome present will be same as before but after meiosis there occurs a reduction

Answer 12

meosis is involved in germ cells &produce 4 cells  where as mitosis involved in somatic cells &produce 2 cells
